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 recommended)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for richer chocolate taste)
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy) – as needed for consistency
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional for added texture)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any optional ingredients such as cocoa powder or vanilla extract. This creates the base for your protein pudding.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Using a whisk or spoon, stir the mixture well until smooth and completely blended. If the pudding is too thick, gradually add your milk of choice, a splash at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding and sweeten it further if needed by mixing in maple syrup or honey according to your preference and depending on the sweetness of your protein powder.
  4. Add Texture (Optional): For a thicker texture, stir in chia seeds and let the pudding sit for 5 minutes. The seeds will absorb moisture and slightly thicken the pudding.
  5. Serve or Store: Serve the pudding immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate it in an airtight 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 protein powder flavors that complement each other with your sweetener and nut butter choice.
  • Maple syrup and honey can be used interchangeably depending on dietary preferences.
  • Adding chia seeds increases fiber and thickens the pudding naturally.
  • Use milk sparingly to avoid thinning the pudding too much.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
