Description

This Protein Pudding recipe is a quick, nutritious, and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth while boosting your protein intake. Made with creamy Greek yogurt and protein powder, it’s perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert. You can customize it with cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor and sweeten it to your liking with natural sweeteners, adjusting the consistency with your choice of milk.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat, low fat, or full fat)
  • ½ cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla recommended)

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for extra chocolate flavor)
  • Sweetener to taste (e.g., maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
  • Milk (dairy or plant-based) to adjust consistency


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt and ½ cup of your preferred protein powder, either chocolate or vanilla flavor. If you want a richer chocolate taste, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder at this stage.
  2. Add Sweetener: Add your preferred sweetener to taste, such as maple syrup, honey, or stevia. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk, either dairy or plant-based, a little at a time while mixing to reach your desired pudding consistency. The mixture should be smooth and creamy but thick enough to hold shape.
  4. Chill and Serve: For the best texture, refrigerate the pudding for at least 5 minutes before serving, although it can be enjoyed immediately if preferred.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of protein powder that suits your taste, though chocolate and vanilla are recommended for the best flavor combination.
  • Adjust the sweetness and consistency according to your preference by adding more or less sweetener and milk.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Adding cocoa powder enriches the chocolate flavor without adding much fat or sugar.
  • This recipe is great for a quick protein boost after workouts or as a healthy dessert.
