Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt – full fat for a creamier texture, or low fat for a lighter option
- ½ cup (40 g) protein powder – chocolate or vanilla for flavor, or unflavored for flexibility
- 1-2 tbsp nut butter (like almond or peanut butter) – adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for a richer chocolate taste)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey – adjust based on taste and protein powder flavor
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) – only if needed for consistency
Instructions
- Place Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any optional ingredients (like cocoa powder) into a mixing bowl.
- Stir thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until the ingredients are well-blended and smooth.
- Gradually add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick, stirring until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness with maple syrup or honey if needed.
- Stir in chia seeds for added texture, if desired.
- Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes if you added chia seeds, allowing them to thicken the mixture slightly.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate.
Notes
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference and the sweetness of your protein powder.
Add milk slowly, a splash at a time, to achieve the perfect consistency.
Experiment with different protein powder flavors and nut butters for variety.
For meal prep, divide into individual airtight containers and store in the fridge.
