Easy Protein Banana Pudding
A high-protein, delicious twist on a classic Southern dessert.
I’ve partnered with Naked Nutrition on this post. All opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that help keep this blog going!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
My boyfriend absolutely loves banana pudding. A while back, I made him a dairy-free version — and while he was sweet enough to eat most of it, I could tell it didn’t quite hit the mark.
So, when Naked Nutrition sent me their new Naked Goat Vanilla Protein Powder, I knew it was time to create a better version — one that still delivered on flavor, but with a protein-packed boost!
What is Goat Whey Protein?
Naked Goat is a clean, high-quality goat whey protein powder, sourced from pasture-raised goats on small-herd Wisconsin dairies. It’s:
-
Easier to digest than cow whey (less lactose + smaller fat particles)
-
Loaded with essential amino acids
-
Free of additives and artificial sweeteners
Great for anyone looking for an alternative to traditional whey or plant-based protein powders.*
