# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1 cup Rolled Oats, 1/2 cup Pitted Medjool Dates, 2 tbsp Almond Butter, and 1/4 tsp Sea Salt in a food processor. Pulse until a sticky, crumbly mixture forms. Press this evenly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish or individual serving cups to create the foundation for your Protein Banana Pudding: Easy Healthy No-Bake Dessert.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder, 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract until completely smooth and lump-free. This forms the creamy, high-protein component of your dessert.
03 -
Arrange half of the 3 medium Ripe Bananas, sliced, over the prepared crumbly base. Evenly spread half of the Velvety Protein Pudding mixture over the bananas. This creates the initial delicious layer of your Protein Banana Pudding: Easy Healthy No-Bake Dessert.
04 -
Place the remaining half of the 3 medium Ripe Bananas, sliced, on top of the first pudding layer. Carefully spread the remaining Velvety Protein Pudding mixture over the bananas, ensuring an even top layer.
05 -
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4 hours, to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld. Chilling is crucial for the best texture of this Protein Banana Pudding: Easy Healthy No-Bake Dessert.
06 -
Before serving, optionally top with 1/4 cup Light Whipped Topping, 2 tbsp Chopped Pecans, and a pinch of Ground Cinnamon. Scoop and enjoy your refreshing and healthy Protein Banana Pudding: Easy Healthy No-Bake Dessert!
# Notes:
01 -
Store leftover Protein Banana Pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The bananas may brown slightly, but the flavor will remain delicious.
02 -
For individual portions, assemble in four small glasses or jars. This makes for an elegant presentation and easy grab-and-go snacks.
03 -
Ensure your bananas are ripe but still firm enough to slice without turning mushy. Overripe bananas will still taste great but might make the layers less defined.
04 -
Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors (e.g., chocolate) or add a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for an extra treat.
