🍨 High-Protein Banana Pudding Fluff Salad

Servings: 6 | Prep Time: 10 mins | Chill Time: 30 mins | Total Time: 40 mins

1 (3.4 oz) box sugar-free banana pudding mix (instant)
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (for protein boost)
1 (8 oz) tub fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Lite or sugar-free version)
2 medium bananas, sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries or pineapple chunks (optional)
6–8 vanilla protein cookies or protein graham crisps (crushed)
Optional: a scoop of vanilla protein powder (for extra protein!)

Make the Pudding Base:
In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and almond milk until thick (1–2 minutes).
Add the Yogurt:
Stir in Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Fold in Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
Add Fruit:
Mix in banana slices and any optional fruits (like strawberries or pineapple).
Top It Off:
Sprinkle crushed protein cookies or graham crisps on top for crunch.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Add ½ scoop vanilla protein powder to the pudding mixture for an extra 10–15g of protein.
Using nonfat Greek yogurt doubles the protein compared to regular yogurt.
Choose high-protein pudding mix (available in some brands) for an even bigger boost.
