Main Ingredients
- 1 to 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flax seeds

Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Scoop the Greek yogurt into a medium-sized bowl. Add the vanilla protein powder and gently mix together until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Add the Banana: Mash one or two ripe bananas with a fork until pudding-like consistency. Fold mashed bananas into the yogurt and protein mixture to create the banana pudding flavor and natural sweetness.

- Sweeten to Taste: Drizzle honey or maple syrup gradually if more sweetness is desired, mixing well after each addition to reach your preferred sweetness level.
- Final Texture Touches: Add chia seeds or flax seeds and pour in a splash of milk or plant-based milk. Stir until well combined for a smooth, pudding-like texture.
- Optional Add-Ins: Top with almond or peanut butter, fresh or frozen berries, oats or granola, and cacao nibs or cocoa powder for extra flavor, texture, and nutrition.
