    Protein fluff is easily one of the most disappointing "hype" food things I've ever tried.

    I just don't get it.

    Being said- I make a mean greek yogurt with protein powder that IS delicious.

    This is what I do too. I'm from the south, so my go to is vanilla Greek yogurt, banana cream protein powder, vanilla wafers. Let sit in fridge for a while to get the vanilla wafers all nice and soft :)

    Raising Hand: Southerner here, too! Yum...banana pudding. Would you mind sharing the ~cal count?

    Calorie and macro counts will be for ingredients I use, but should be close for others.

    Single serving of Dannon Light & Fit Greek nonfat vanilla yogurt (150g)
    1/2 serving of Trutein Banana Cream Protein (this happens to be what I use) (17g)
    1/3 serving Vanilla Wafers (I usually just use a reduced fat off brand) (4-5 wafers)
    Also, I usually add a touch of water to help thin it out, but some form of milk can be used, just have to adjust calories and macros accordingly.
    Mix well, let sit in fridge for a few hours for best results (I like my wafers soft), but can be eaten straight away if wanted.

    185'ish calories per serving
    24g protein
    19g carbs
    2g fat

    Trutein's Banana Cream flavor is one of the most delicious protein powders I've ever tried (and I've tried a ton of them, going clear back to the '80s when they all tasted like chalk dust). I ordered a 2 pound tub to try it, went through it like crazy and just re-ordered a 4 pound tub because it's definitely a keeper. I'm definitely going to give your recipe a try, but I'll be substituting Dannon Oikos Triple Zero greek yogurt (I like the taste/texture better).

    Yep, my wife and I love the banana cream, but my favorite of theirs is the red velvet cake. On the yogurt, make sure it's vanilla flavored as the plain might make it too tart and not sweet enough. Enjoy.

    I LOVE adding protein powder to my Greek yogurt! If you freeze it, it's like ice cream! :)

    Do I just buy bad tasting protein powder? I just bought two different varieties to try, spent like $30 and I don't like either of them. The one time I tried to mix protein powder into yogurt years ago I almost threw up and nothing else has ever made me gag from flavor alone.

    The only thing I use plain yogurt for is a sour cream substitute. Can't eat the stuff by itself, it's gross. Vanilla it will be.

    I haven't tried Trutein's Red Velvet Cake, but their Cinnabun is excellent too. I just ordered a 2 pound tub of it along with the 4 pounds of Banana Cream.
