Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8½" x 4½" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed banana, applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk and eggs.
In another bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, unflavored protein powder, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon and cardamom.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder and gluten from wheat flour will make the bread dense.
Filling: In a small bowl, mix chopped pistachio, almonds, honey, cinnamon and cardamom.
Pour ⅔ batter into prepared loaf pan, spread ⅔ filling in the middle, then pour remaining ⅓ batter.
Top with remaining nut filling mixture.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, covering with a foil tent after 40 minutes.
A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 15 minutes, then lift out of pan using the lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes and cut into slices.
