# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can satisfy your late-night sweet tooth without derailing your macros or feeling like you're eating "diet food"
  • The entire process comes together in under fifteen minutes, making it perfect for those moments when willpower is lowest and hunger is highest
02 -
  • The protein powder you use makes or breaks this recipe, so avoid unflavored or strongly fruity varieties that clash with the banana flavor
  • If your pudding mixture feels grainy, keep whisking for another minute because the powder needs time to fully dissolve into the yogurt
03 -
  • Mix everything in a wide, shallow bowl rather than a deep one to prevent the protein powder from puffing up into a cloud when you first start whisking
  • Make extra crushed wafers and store them separately to refresh the top layer just before serving
