Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat for a creamier texture or low-fat for a lighter option
- ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate or vanilla flavor, or unflavored for flexibility
- 1–2 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut butter) – adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for richer chocolate taste)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey – adjust based on taste and protein powder flavor
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) – only if needed for consistency
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and protein powder. For a thicker texture and enhanced flavor, add the cocoa powder or nut butter as desired.
- Adjust Texture: Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and creamy. If you find the pudding too thick, gradually add a splash of your preferred milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding mixture and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately for the best texture or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. The pudding can be stored for up to 3 days, maintaining freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of protein powder to customize the taste, such as vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt provides a creamier result, while low-fat options make the pudding lighter.
- Adjust the sweetness according to the flavor intensity of your protein powder and personal preference.
- Nut butters add both creaminess and healthy fats, but can be omitted for a lower fat version.
- The pudding thickens in the fridge, so consider this when adjusting the initial consistency with milk.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to three days.
