Description

This is a fantastic decadent tasting, creamy, crunchy, and super healthy breakfast. Or dessert. Or snack. With the flavour of banoffee pie laced with hints of tiramisu and a whopping 20g of protein per portion, with just about 300cal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2/3 cup 0% fat greek yoghurt
  • 1/3 cup soy milk (or other milk of your choice)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (My favourite for this is "MyProtein Whey - Speculoos")
  • 2 tbsp date caramel
  • 1 banana
  • 3 tbsp granola
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. In a protein shaker, combine the soy milk, protein powder and, if using, instant espresso and almond extract. Mix well until smooth and well combined. Since this is very little fluid, you might have to shake a bit longer, to get all lumps out, but I promise the bit of exercise is worth it.
  2. Slice the banana into thin rounds and set aside.
  3. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the yoghurt mixture with sliced bananas, date caramel and granola. Start with a layer of granola, followed by a layer of caramel, and then a layer of bananas, then the yoghurt. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, ending with a sprinkle of granola and some banana slices on top.
  4. Depending on your preference for granola consistency, you can either eat it right away for a lovely crunchy granola layer or leave it in the fridge for about 30min, for it to soften a bit.

This makes either two smaller portions (about average breakfast or dessert size) or one huge portion as you see in the picture, which I polished off after cooking from morning to afternoon and not getting any breakfast. I was stuffed after, unable to eat anything more that day. Thankfully the big portion has about 45g protein, so with my morning collagen in my coffee, it got my needs all covered.

This was the recipe that inspired my Banoffee and Strawberry Protein Mousse Pie. The combination is so delicious, I wanted to transform it into a low calorie, high protein pie. Check my the other two recipes, to impress family and friends or just spoil yourself. Especially when trying to lose weight.
