Description
A quick and easy high-protein pudding made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, perfect for a nutritious snack or dessert that requires no cooking.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat for a creamier texture or low-fat for a lighter option
- ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate or vanilla for flavor, or unflavored for flexibility
Flavor Enhancers
- 1-2 tbsp nut butter (like almond or peanut butter) – adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for a richer chocolate taste)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey – adjust based on taste and protein powder flavor
Optional
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) – only if needed for consistency
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and protein powder. For a thicker consistency, add cocoa powder or nut butter to enhance flavor and texture.
- Adjust Texture: Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the pudding is too thick, add a small amount of your chosen milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- Serve or Store: Serve the pudding immediately for the freshest taste, or transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
