Description

This creamy protein pudding is a quick, no-cook, high-protein snack or dessert made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and customizable add-ins. It’s filling, versatile, and can be tailored for various diets.


Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat)

1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored)

12 tbsp nut butter (almond or peanut butter)

1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)

12 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)

Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy), if needed for consistency

Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: 1 tbsp chia seeds

Optional: A pinch of sea salt


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any optional add-ins (such as cocoa powder or vanilla extract).
  2. Stir thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until smooth and well-blended.
  3. If too thick, add a splash of milk until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey as needed.
  5. For added texture, stir in chia seeds and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If pudding thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk before serving.

Customize with fruits, granola, or flavor variations.

Not suitable for freezing, as texture changes.
