Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat or low fat
- ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored
- 1–2 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) as needed for consistency
- Chia seeds (optional, for texture)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and optional cocoa powder or vanilla extract. This forms the rich base of the pudding.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk or stir vigorously until the ingredients form a smooth, uniform mixture. If too thick, gradually add milk to achieve your desired pudding texture.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste the pudding and mix in maple syrup or honey incrementally until the sweetness suits your preference.
- Add Texture (Optional): Stir in chia seeds and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly, enhancing the pudding’s texture.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days, making it easy to enjoy later.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture or low-fat for a lighter option.
- Choose protein powder flavor to customize the pudding (chocolate or vanilla recommended).
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste and protein powder flavor intensity.
- Milk is optional but helps to adjust consistency if the pudding is too thick.
- Chia seeds are optional but improve texture and add nutritional benefits.
- Best stored in an airtight container in the fridge and consumed within 3 days for maximum freshness.
