Let it chill in the fridge for about 5 minutes, until soft set. Once the pudding is set, gently mix in the protein powder until smooth. Then fold in the Greek yogurt until fully combined. Add about 6–8 graham crackers to a zip-top bag and crush into small pieces. Grab 4 small jars or containers. Add about ¼ cup of crushed graham crackers to the bottom of each, pressing down to form a base. Add a layer of pudding mixture, followed by a layer of Cool Whip, and then another layer of pudding. If meal prepping, stop here, seal with airtight lids, and store in the fridge for up to a week. (but it tastes best if even within the first 3-5 days!) When ready to serve, top with marshmallow fluff, dark chocolate chips, and extra crushed graham crackers.
