Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt (e.g., Oikos Triple Zero, or a higher protein plant-based yogurt alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder (e.g., Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream)
  • 1/4 cup water or preferred milk (optional, to thin the pudding)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Recommended Toppings

  • Frozen mixed berries (thawed in microwave)
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, instant vanilla pudding mix, vanilla extract, and water or milk (if using) into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir or whisk the mixture until the pudding is smooth and well combined with no lumps, achieving a creamy consistency.
  3. Add Toppings: When ready to eat, top the pudding with your choice of whipped cream, thawed frozen berries (warm the frozen mixed berries in the microwave for about 45 seconds to release flavorful juices), chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
  4. Store Properly: Transfer the pudding into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Optionally, divide into four smaller portions or two larger servings using small airtight containers or Pyrex dishes for easy serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vanilla Greek yogurt with a high-protein plant-based yogurt if desired.
  • The water or milk is optional but helps reach the perfect pudding consistency by thinning it out.
  • Microwaving frozen mixed berries before adding them as a topping enhances their flavor by releasing the juices.
  • Store the pudding in airtight containers to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
  • Adjust protein powder amount based on desired protein content and flavor intensity.
