Description
A creamy, high-protein chocolate pudding made with Greek yogurt and protein powder. Ready in 5 minutes with no cooking required.
Ingredients
Scale
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
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
Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) – only if needed for consistency
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any optional ingredients (like cocoa powder).
- Stir thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until the ingredients are well-blended and smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a splash of milk until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness with maple syrup or honey if needed.
- For added texture, stir in chia seeds and let the pudding sit for 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder.
- Consistency is key; add milk slowly to avoid making the pudding too runny.
- Sweetness varies by protein powder; always taste before adding extra sweetener.
- The pudding thickens slightly when chilled.
