Questions People Ask
How do you make banana pudding high protein without pudding mix?
Blend cottage cheese and Greek yogurt with vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla until silky. It sets like pudding and tastes like the real thing, with real protein instead of a boxed mix.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes, it is better after chilling. Make it a few hours ahead or the night before so the wafers soften and the flavors come together.
