Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt (e.g., Oikos Triple Zero or higher protein plant-based yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1–2 scoops vanilla protein powder (e.g., Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup water or preferred milk (optional, to thin consistency)
Recommended Toppings
- Frozen mixed berries (thawed in microwave)
- Whipped cream
- Chopped nuts
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, instant pudding mix, vanilla extract, and water or milk into a mixing bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir or whisk the ingredients together until the pudding achieves a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Add Toppings: When ready to serve, top the pudding with whipped cream, thawed frozen mixed berries (microwaved for about 45 seconds), and chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips as desired.
- Store Properly: Place the pudding in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. You may divide into four small servings or two larger ones, using small Pyrex dishes or any airtight containers for individual pudding cups.
Notes
- You can substitute the Greek yogurt with a higher protein plant-based yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Adding water or milk is optional and helps achieve the perfect pudding consistency.
- Microwaving frozen berries before adding them intensifies their flavor by releasing their juices.
- This pudding is best enjoyed chilled and can be prepared quickly in just five minutes.
- Adjust the amount of protein powder based on your protein needs and taste preference.
