Ingredients
For this pudding I rely on fresh, ripe bananas as the natural sweetener and thickening backbone. Greek yogurt contributes creaminess and protein, while almond milk keeps the texture light. Chia seeds act as a gentle binder without adding heaviness. Warm spices and a touch of maple syrup round out the flavor profile, and the optional toppings add crunch and visual appeal.
Base Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full‑fat or 2%)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Thickening & Sweetening
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (optional)
Spices & Flavor
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries)
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Crushed nuts (almonds, pecans)
The bananas provide natural sugars and a silky base, while the Greek yogurt adds body and a subtle tang that balances the sweetness. Chia seeds swell with the liquid, creating a pudding‑like consistency without the need for gelatin. Cinnamon and vanilla give warmth and depth, and a pinch of salt amplifies every flavor. The optional toppings introduce texture and fresh bursts of flavor, turning each spoonful into a delightful experience.
