Introduction

This high-protein banana pudding is mine and Justin’s favorite low-sugar and high protein sweet treat—rich, creamy, and perfect for busy days or lazy afternoons. I love making it with my toddler—we both end up with a little mess and a lot of smiles.

Ingredients

• 3–4 ripe bananas

• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder ( We use Just Ingredients brand vanilla bean flavored protein powder)

• 1 pint organic whipping cream

• 1 box Simply Desserts Sugar-Free Vanilla Pudding Mix (Whole Foods)

• 2 cups milk (for the pudding mix)

• ½ box 365 Brand Vanilla Wafers

• Whip for 3–4 minutes until smooth.

• Transfer the whipped pudding to a separate bowl.

2. Whip the cream:

• In the same mixer bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

3. Prep the bananas:

• Peel and chop 3–4 ripe bananas into bite-sized pieces.
