Description
An easy high-protein banana pudding dessert made with cottage cheese, fresh bananas, and protein powder for a creamy, healthy twist on the classic.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey or beef isolate protein powder
- 12 vanilla wafer cookies, for layering
- 1/2 banana, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the cottage cheese, whole banana, maple syrup, vanilla, and protein powder in a high-speed blender.
- Pulse and blend on high until the mixture is thick, airy, and completely free of lumps.
- Taste the pudding and add a touch more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter finish.
- In serving glasses, create alternating layers of the whipped pudding, vanilla wafer cookies, and fresh banana slices.
- For the best texture, chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the cookies soften slightly.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup to taste.
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
- This recipe is no-bake and quick to prepare.
