Here’s a Banana Cream Protein Pudding recipe that’s creamy, healthy, and packed with protein—a perfect snack, breakfast, or dessert.
🍌 Banana Cream Protein Pudding
Ingredients (1–2 servings)
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond/cashew milk)

- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp chia seeds or ground flax (optional, for texture and fiber)
Instructions
- Blend
- In a blender or food processor, combine banana, milk, protein powder, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and sweetener.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Optional Thickening
- Stir in chia seeds or flax and let sit 5–10 minutes to thicken.
- For a firmer pudding, chill in the fridge 30 minutes.
- Serve
- Scoop into a bowl or jar.
- Top with sliced banana, nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips & Variations
- Chocolate banana pudding: Use chocolate protein powder and add a teaspoon of cocoa powder.
- Peanut butter banana: Blend in 1 tbsp peanut butter for extra flavor and protein.
- Vegan option: Use plant-based protein powder and coconut yogurt.
- Meal prep: Make in jars for 2–3 days; chia seeds will thicken it overnight.
If you want, I can make a “thick, custard-like version” that’s more like dessert pudding but still high in protein.
Do you want me to do that?
