Two transparent glass jars sit side by side on a white marbled surface. Each jar has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a thick white cream with a smooth texture, the middle layer contains light beige banana slices, and the top layer is made of small golden-brown cookie pieces that look crispy and crumbly. The glass jars have a diamond patterned texture. Bright natural light shines on the jars from the left, casting mild shadows on the surface.

Ingredients

⅔ cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (150g)
⅓ cup Whey Vanilla Protein Powder (30g)
4 tsp Banana Cream Flavor Instant Pudding Mix (11g, sugar free)
2 tsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (10ml)
3-4 crushed Vanilla Wafers (sugar free recommended, 14g)
½ medium Banana (sliced, 60g)

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, whey vanilla protein powder, banana cream instant pudding mix, and almond milk. Mix until smooth, adding the milk gradually until you reach a pudding-like consistency.
Step 2: In a serving jar or glass, create layers starting with the pudding mixture at the bottom, then add a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, followed by sliced bananas. Repeat these layers to make two layers of each.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, try sprinkling chopped nuts or chia seeds between layers.
Use sugar-free vanilla wafers to keep the dessert low in sugar.
Swap almond milk for any milk alternative you prefer, such as oat or coconut milk.

Storage

Store the assembled pudding in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It tastes best fresh but can be enjoyed cold the next day. Avoid storing for longer as the wafers may lose their crunch.

How to Serve

The image shows a small glass jar with a clear texture and wide mouth, filled with a layered dessert.

The jar is placed on a white marbled surface, with sunlight casting soft shadows. In the background, there are round cookies on a white plate and a yellow dish with spoons.

FAQs

Can I use regular pudding mix instead of sugar-free?

Yes, you can use regular banana cream instant pudding mix if sugar is not a concern, but it will increase the sugar content of the dessert.

Can I prepare this pudding in advance?

Yes, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it, but add the banana slices right before serving to prevent browning.
