INGREDIENT NOTES:
PLAIN NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:
- It gives creamy texture to the custard while adding protein. This ingredient keeps the recipe lighter than full-fat yogurt. You may use low-fat Greek yogurt as per your preference.
UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:
- This milk loosens the yogurt mixture and gives a softer consistency to the custard. You may use unsweetened skim milk as another choice.
VANILLA WHEY PROTEIN POWDER:
- It increases the protein content and gives a vanilla taste to the dessert. This powder makes a satisfying texture and thicker pudding. You may use plain whey protein as a substitute.
GRANULATED ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:
- It gives a sweet taste without using regular sugar. This sweetener makes the custard and banana pudding better. You may use stevia granulated sweeteners as an alternative.

- Bake the dish in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the ramekins and cool for 20 minutes.
