Weekly Recipe: Post Workout Banana Pudding

Friday Recipe!  Post Workout Banana Pudding

So it isn't exactly like the Banana Pudding I make during the holidays, but this has still become one of my favorite Post Workout Meals.  After a strength training workout it is important to consume carbs and sugars to replace the glycogen that was lost during the workout.

1 Scoop of Banana Protein Powder (Suggested Brands: Trutein or BSN Lean Dessert)

1/4 c. Vanilla Unsweetened almond Milk

1 Medium Banana (65g)

1 Single Serve packet of Mini Nilla Wafers 

Optional* 1 Tablespoon Tru Whip (It's like Cool Whip without hydrogenated oils.  You can find it at whole foods)

Slice Banana and put half on the bottom of your bowl

Make a Pudding with the Protein Powder and Almond Milk (The amount of almond milk depends on How thick or How thin you like your pudding)

Slice the Remaining half of the banana

Place Mini Nilla Wafers on top along with a tablespoon of the Tru Whip.

Enjoy!  also makes a great dessert if you are craving something sweet!
