Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt (low fat or full fat)
- 1/2 cup (40 g) protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor recommended)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (if necessary, to taste)
- Milk of choice (optional, as needed to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt and protein powder along with the cocoa powder. These ingredients form the base of the pudding.
- Mix Thoroughly: Using a whisk or spoon, stir the mixture vigorously until it reaches a pudding-like consistency. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add milk to thin it out to your desired texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding and add maple syrup or honey as needed to suit your preferred level of sweetness. Mix well to incorporate.
- Serve or Store: You can enjoy your protein pudding immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days for later consumption.
Notes
- The thickness of the pudding depends on the protein powder used, so adjust with milk accordingly.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or your preferred sweetener.
- Use low-fat or full-fat Greek yogurt based on your nutritional preference.
- For a dairy-free version, choose a plant-based yogurt and suitable protein powder.
- Protein pudding makes a great post-workout snack or a healthy dessert option.
