Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (nonfat, low fat, or full fat)
- ½ cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla recommended)
- Sweetener to taste (e.g., maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
- Milk (dairy or plant-based) to adjust consistency
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for extra chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt and ½ cup of your preferred protein powder. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder at this point.
- Sweeten to taste: Add your choice of sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or stevia. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your sweetness preference.
- Mix well and adjust consistency: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until smooth. Add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) little by little to reach your desired pudding consistency.

- For vegan options, use plant-based protein powder and plant-based yogurt.
- Adjust sweetener quantity carefully to avoid overpowering the protein powder flavor.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Experiment with toppings such as nuts, berries, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
