Protein Pudding: The Sweet, Guilt-Free Treat You’ll Love

Protein Pudding recipe
Print Recipe

the hero of healthy snacks: protein pudding. It’s creamy, satisfying, and packed with muscle-building protein, all while tasting like a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (choose your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla works best)
  • 2 tbsp of unsweetened cacao powder (for that deep chocolate flavor)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract (adds a hint of sweetness and warmth)
  • 1–2 tbsp of maple syrup (or adjust based on your sweetness preference)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder and cacao powder. Stir them together to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add the wet ingredients. Scoop in the Greek yogurt and add the vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture starts to come together.
  3. Sweeten to taste. Drizzle in the maple syrup, mixing thoroughly. Taste as you go to ensure it’s sweet enough for your liking.
  4. Adjust the texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a little of milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until it achieves your desired consistency.
  5. Chill. Chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
  6. Serve and enjoy. Scoop the pudding into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings—fresh fruit, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for extra crunch.

Notes

  1. Start with less liquid. You can always add more if it’s too thick, but it’s harder to fix if it’s too runny.
  2. Use cold milk. This helps the pudding set faster and gives it a creamier texture.
  3. Mix well. Nobody likes clumps of powder in their pudding. A whisk or a blender can help you get that smooth consistency.
  4. Be patient. I understand it can be challenging, but chilling the pudding for a minimum of two hours is a must. It being damaging to wait, I guarantee you that it is quite worth it.
