No Bake High Protein Banana Pudding without Condensed Milk
I don't want to be dramatic, but this high protein banana pudding is quite possibly our best creation yet. I've tested it both with Greek yogurt, with and without protein powder, and dairy free and have developed the perfect recipe.

Notes
Storage: This is best right away when layered, so try to only make what you'll eat. But the leftover components can be kept in seperate containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Don't cut the banana up until you're going to eat it.
It's not freezer-friendly.
Dairy Free Version:
Swap the Greek yogurt for Siggis high protein yogurt. Swap the whipping cream for vegan whipping cream or coconut Cool Whip. Sugar-Free: OK, this is actually more like sugarless since there's sugar in graham crackers and bananas. But you can use sugar-free banana pudding mix and sugar-free cool whip to do this. Low-Carb: For this version skip the banana and just use the banana pudding mix. And use Cool Whip and High Key low-carb wafers in place of the whipped cream and crackers.
