Ingredients
- Greek yogurt (nonfat, low-fat, or full-fat)
- Protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- Optional: Unsweetened cocoa powder (for extra chocolate flavor)
- Optional: Sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt and protein powder.
- If using, add unsweetened cocoa powder and sweetener.
- Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to adjust consistency.
- Enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Serve with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra flavor.
Notes
-
- Use high-quality protein powder – Chocolate or vanilla protein powder works best for a rich, smooth flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness – If you prefer a naturally sweet pudding, use ripe mashed banana or honey instead of artificial sweeteners.
- Make it dairy-free – Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or almond yogurt to keep it plant-based.
- Experiment with mix-ins – Add cinnamon, espresso powder, or nut butter for different flavor variations.
- Refrigerate for better texture – While the pudding can be eaten immediately, chilling for at least 30 minutes will enhance its thickness and creaminess.
