This no-bake protein banana cream pie combines creamy banana pudding, protein powder, fresh banana, and a graham cracker crust. It is an easy make-ahead dessert for anyone who loves banana treats as much as I do!
A QUICK NOTE
Use cold milk and whisk the filling for 1–2 minutes, until it begins to thicken. Chill the pie for at least 2–3 hours, and add any fresh banana topping just before serving to help prevent browning.
INGREDIENTS
2 boxes fat-free, sugar-free instant banana cream pudding mix
20 fl oz (2½ cups) fat-free or low-fat Fairlife milk, or milk of choice
2 scoops vanilla or banana protein powder
1 medium banana, thinly sliced
1 premade graham cracker pie crust
Light whipped cream, optional
Additional banana slices, optional
Graham cracker crumbs, optional
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, protein powder, and cold milk for 1–2 minutes, or until smooth and beginning to thicken. A hand mixer also works well.
2. Thinly slice the banana and gently fold it into the pudding mixture.
3. Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Cover the pie.
4. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
5. Top with light whipped cream, fresh banana slices, and graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
