Description
This Protein Banana Pudding is creamy, simple, and packed with muscle-friendly protein, making it a perfect post-workout treat or healthy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of vanilla protein powder
- 2 cups of almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- Sliced bananas and crushed nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks so they blend easily. Measure the protein powder, milk, vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup. Chill serving bowls if you like a colder dessert.
- Combine in a blender the banana chunks, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Secure the lid.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape the sides if needed. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and blend again until you reach a pudding-like consistency.
- Taste the pudding and add cinnamon or a touch more sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to mix any additions.
- Pour the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to thicken and set. Chilling improves texture and flavor.
- Serve chilled. Top with sliced bananas and crushed nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for crunch and contrast.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture. Choose a smooth vanilla protein powder for best results.
