  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter (for richness)
  • Granola, crushed nuts, or toasted coconut (for crunch)
  • A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg (for warmth)
  • Sliced fresh banana, crushed walnuts, dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy. This forms the natural sweetness and pudding-like texture.
  2. Mix yogurt and protein: Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder to the mashed banana. Stir thoroughly until well combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Adjust consistency: Gradually pour in milk, mixing continuously, until reaching your preferred pudding thickness—thicker for spooning or thinner for a smoothie bowl feel.
  4. Add flavor enhancers: Stir in vanilla extract and, if desired, a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Mix in chia seeds now if using to allow them to soak and thicken the mixture.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the bowl for 10-15 minutes to intensify flavors and thicken texture, or serve immediately topped with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  • Choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder for best flavor and smooth blending.
  • Add milk gradually to avoid an overly thin consistency.
  • Chilling the bowl enhances texture and flavor depth.
  • Top with crunchy elements like nuts or granola to add enjoyable texture contrasts.
