  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding mixture and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Use any milk alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste, especially if your protein powder is already sweetened.
  • For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add more protein powder.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Adding a pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavor.
