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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
