This plant-based yogurt replacement is packed with protein, fibre, calcium and iron. Learn how to make Banana Faux-Gurt and start your day right!

I never really loved Yogurt as a kid, but this mixture is something I have several times a week. So I’m going to show you how I make my Banana Faux-Gurt. It’s fast to make, creamy and delicious and it goes perfectly with my Oil-Free Granola. Or you can mix it with fruit – I do both!

Another way that you can think of this is as a chia pudding that is crazy healthy for you. It’s packed with protein and fibre and is incredibly rich in both iron and calcium. If you’re looking for a perfect post-workout breakfast you’re going to want to include this as part of it. You can always omit the protein powder if you want and it will reduce the calories, but it will also reduce the protein. Feel free to use whatever brand you like. I’m a big fan of Leanfit Plant-Based Protein.

I always make this as a single serving so it’s fresh, but there’s no reason that you couldn’t make a huge batch of this in a blender and then keep it in the fridge for the rest of the week. It’ll easily keep for a few days. I like to use a magic bullet, but you can make this in any high-speed blender like a Vita-Mix.

While this is the standard base I use, I’ve also been known to jazz it up with some cinnamon powder or cocoa powder from time to time. I’ve also used other fruits as the base, so try this Mixed-Berry variation!

This might be the thing I make the most in my kitchen. But now that you know how to make Banana Faux-Gurt you’ll always have a healthy and nutrient filled way to start the day. Smash it into your face today!
