Ingredients

Base Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for chocolate flavor)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins & Toppings

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added thickness and fiber)
1 teaspoon peanut butter or almond butter
Fresh fruits (bananas, strawberries, or blueberries)
Crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Dark chocolate shavings or granola for crunch

Instructions

Mix the Base Ingredients
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract.
Whisk Until Smooth
- Stir or whisk the mixture vigorously until the ingredients are fully blended and creamy. If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend it in a food processor.
Adjust Thickness
- If the pudding is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too runny, mix in chia seeds and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Chill for Best Results
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend and the pudding to set properly.
Add Toppings & Serve
- Once chilled, give the pudding a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate shavings, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Best Protein Powder: Casein protein makes a thicker, creamier pudding, while whey protein gives a lighter texture.
Sweetener Options: You can swap honey or maple syrup for stevia or monk fruit for a lower-calorie option.
Dairy-Free Version: Use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative.
Make-Ahead Tip: Protein pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container.
