Protein Pudding Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat, plain)
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or oat milk)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust more or less to taste)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to a Bowl: Combine the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, milk, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 1 tablespoon of milk to the bowl.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Whisk the mixture vigorously until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps remaining. This creates a thick and consistent pudding texture.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the pudding and adjust the flavors as desired. Add more cocoa powder for a richer chocolate taste, more milk to thin out the pudding for a lighter consistency, or more protein powder to thicken it up if preferred.
- Serve: Serve the pudding immediately as a healthy snack or dessert. Optionally, top with whipped cream and fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use plain Greek yogurt to keep sugar levels low and maximize protein content.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or a sugar-free sweetener based on preference.
- Adjust the amount of cocoa powder and milk to get your ideal pudding thickness and chocolate intensity.
- This pudding can be refrigerated to chill and firm up, making it more like traditional pudding texture.
