Ingredients

Scale

Protein Pudding

  • 5 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat, plain or vanilla)
  • 4 scoops chocolate protein powder (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per scoop)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved chocolate
  • Berries (such as strawberries or raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous with no lumps.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the pudding for at least one hour. This resting time allows the pudding to thicken to a creamy consistency and lets the flavors meld together.
  3. Serve: When ready to eat, spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes and add optional toppings such as whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and fresh berries to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, use plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla and add an extra tablespoon of protein powder or cocoa powder.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or your preferred sweetener to adjust sweetness to taste.
  • This pudding can be made in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate protein powder for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a vegan variation, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and choose a vegan protein powder.
