In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mashed banana, protein powder, dry pudding mix, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes so the pudding powder slightly thickens the yogurt.
Top the bowl with your favorite banana pudding-style toppings—sliced bananas, crushed wafers, nuts, or granola.
Serve immediately or chill for a few minutes for a thicker texture.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days; add crunchy toppings just before eating.

For extra protein, add more protein powder or substitute some yogurt with cottage cheese.

Swap pudding powder flavors for variety (chocolate, vanilla, or banana).

For a dairy-free or vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder, and choose vegan toppings.
