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, vanilla, or unflavored
- 1-2 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut butter) – optional, adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder – optional, for a richer chocolate taste
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey – adjust to taste
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) – optional, for adjusting consistency
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and protein powder. Add cocoa powder or nut butter if a thicker and richer texture is desired.
- Adjust Texture: Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of your chosen milk to reach your preferred consistency.
- Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a creamier pudding, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Choose protein powder flavor based on your preferred taste; chocolate or vanilla pairs well with nut butter and cocoa.
- Adjust sweetness carefully as protein powders differ in taste and sweetness levels.
- If adding milk, do so gradually to avoid overly thin pudding.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep texture and flavor intact.
