Ingredients
Protein Pudding
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (see notes)
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Bowl: Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Start with 1 tablespoon each of cocoa powder and milk, which you can adjust later to increase the chocolate flavor or thin the pudding.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Whisk all ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a creamy texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the pudding and modify the flavors as desired. Add more milk to thin it out or more protein powder to make it thicker and more filling.
- Serve: Serve the pudding immediately as is or garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- The recipe works best with thick Greek yogurt for optimal creaminess and protein content.
- You can use dairy or non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or soy depending on your dietary preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to suit your taste.
- For a colder, firmer pudding, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving.
