Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Pudding

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)
1 large ripe banana
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey, plant-based, or your choice)
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, for protein and creaminess)
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice, adjust for desired consistency)
1 tsp cocoa powder (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)
Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or stevia, optional)
Optional toppings: cacao nibs, crushed nuts, chia seeds, or banana slices
🔥 Instructions
Blend the base
In a blender or food processor, combine banana, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, and sweetener.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Adjust consistency
Add more almond milk if needed for a thinner pudding or more Greek yogurt for thicker texture.
Chill (optional)
For a thicker, chilled pudding, refrigerate 30–60 minutes before serving.
Serve
Divide into bowls or jars.
Top with cacao nibs, extra peanut butter drizzle, chopped nuts, or banana slices.
💪 Protein Highlights
Greek yogurt + protein powder + peanut butter = ~25–30g protein per serving
Natural peanut butter adds healthy fats for satiety
Banana provides natural sweetness and potassium
⚡ Tips
Use ripe banana for maximum sweetness, reducing the need for added sweeteners.
Can be made ahead and stored in airtight jars for up to 2–3 days in the fridge.
For extra creaminess, fold in 1–2 tbsp cottage cheese before serving.
