Ingredients
- 1½ cups non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt. I used Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla Bean. for dairy free, sub with a higher protein plant-based yogurt
- 2½ tablespoons instant pistachio pudding mix
- ¼ cup water or preferred milk use Fairlife milk to increase protein
- 1-2 scoops unflavored or vanilla protein powder I used unflavored collagen protein
- Recommended toppings: chopped pistachios, dark chocolate chips, whipped cream and banana slices.
Instructions
- Add Greek yogurt, pudding mix, protein powder, vanilla extract, and water (or milk) to a mixing bowl.
- Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined with no lumps.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- When ready to eat, top with chopped salted pistachios, dark chocolate chips, whipped cream and banana slices. Can divide into four smaller serving or two larger. Small Pyrex dishes or any small airtight container work well for these pudding cups. Bananas should be completely covered by pudding or added when ready to eat to prevent spoiling.
Notes
- Increase the protein content if preferred.
- Add chia seeds for extra fiber but this will thicken the consistency as it sits in the fridge - so you may need to increase the liquid.
- Sub with dairy-free higher protein plant-based yogurt and top with a dairy-free whipped cream for a dairy-free option.
