❓ Q&A
Q: Can I make this shake dairy-free?
A: Yes! Use dairy-free yogurt (like coconut or almond-based) and ensure your pudding mix is also dairy-free.
Q: Can I use a different fruit instead of banana?
A: Absolutely. Try frozen mango, avocado (for creaminess), or even cauliflower rice for a low-sugar, veggie-based option.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: It’s best fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to 12 hours. Give it a quick stir or shake before drinking, as it may thicken over time.
Q: What flavor pudding mix works best?
A: Vanilla and chocolate are classic, but feel free to experiment with pistachio, banana cream, or even cheesecake flavor!
Q: Can I add protein powder?
A: Yes! Add ½ scoop of your favorite protein powder to boost protein content. Choose a flavor that complements your pudding mix.
