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
- 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.
- 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.
- Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to adjust sweetness according to your preference, mixing well again.
- 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.
