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


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt and protein powder. For a thicker consistency, add cocoa powder or nut butter. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
  2. Adjust Texture: Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth. If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of your preferred milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  3. Sweeten as Desired: Taste the pudding and add honey, maple syrup, or vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness according to your preference. Stir well to blend.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the pudding immediately for the freshest texture or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier pudding or low-fat for a lighter option.
  • Choose chocolate or vanilla protein powder to add flavor or unflavored for versatility.
  • Nut butter adds healthy fats and increases creaminess, but can be omitted if desired.
  • Cocoa powder is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste with maple syrup, honey, or vanilla extract.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
