Description

A quick and easy high-protein pudding made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and optional mix-ins like nut butter and cocoa powder. This low-effort recipe is perfect for a nutritious snack or post-workout treat, customizable to your taste and dietary needs.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat or low-fat
  • ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored

Optional Add-ins

  • 1-2 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy) as needed for consistency


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and protein powder. For a thicker consistency, add cocoa powder or nut butter to enhance creaminess and flavor.
  2. Adjust Texture: Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well combined. If the pudding feels too thick, gradually add a splash of your chosen milk to reach the desired texture.
  3. Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to adjust sweetness according to your preference, mixing well again.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the protein pudding immediately or transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • Choose protein powder flavor based on your preference; unflavored allows for more versatility.
  • Adjust sweetness carefully depending on the protein powder’s flavor.
  • Adding nut butter increases healthy fats and creaminess.
  • If you prefer a thinner pudding, add milk gradually until you get the desired consistency.
  • This recipe is perfect for a quick high-protein snack without cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
