Protein Pudding
Protein pudding is a delicious, high-protein dessert perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while nourishing your body. With endless flavor options and customizations, it’s a healthy and versatile treat for anyone looking to boost their protein intake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 250 g Greek yogurt, either low-fat or full-fat
- ½ cup 40 g protein powder, preferably chocolate or vanilla flavor
- Optional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup to taste
- Milk of choice if needed (see notes*)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the protein powder and any optional add-ins (like cocoa powder). Use a whisk or spoon to stir until the mixture achieves a pudding-like consistency. If it's too thick, you can thin it out with a small amount of milk, depending on the protein powder used. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey, if needed.
- Serve right away, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
If you're using unflavored protein powder, you can adjust the taste with 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and any optional mix-ins (such as 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp cocoa powder).
For a smoother consistency, I recommend using whey protein powder, as it blends better.
Vegan protein powder and casein may result in a thicker pudding, so feel free to adjust by adding a splash of milk if needed.
