Serving and Storage Tips

Serve protein pudding chilled for the best texture and flavor. You can enjoy it on its own or topped with fruit, a dollop of nut butter, or crushed nuts for crunch. It makes a delicious breakfast with granola or a healthy dessert after dinner.

Store your pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to five days. For grab-and-go convenience, portion it into small mason jars or reusable containers. It is not ideal for freezing, as the texture may change and become watery once thawed. If preparing ahead, simply mix and refrigerate in individual servings to make mornings or post-workout snacks quick and easy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons almond milk
• Pinch of sea salt

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or spatula
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Airtight storage containers

Instructions

1. Combine the base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Stir gently to begin combining. This helps prevent clumps from forming as you mix more thoroughly later.
2. Add flavor and richness: Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt. The salt may seem minor, but it enhances the cocoa beautifully and brings depth to the flavor.
3. Mix to pudding perfection: Whisk the mixture vigorously until everything is fully incorporated and smooth. It should resemble thick mousse at this point. If it feels too thick to your liking, drizzle in additional almond milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
4. Taste test and personalize: Give it a spoonful and see if you’d like it sweeter. Add an extra touch of maple syrup if needed. You can also adjust with a dash more vanilla or cocoa depending on your taste mood.
5. Chill the pudding: Portion the pudding into small bowls or containers. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors come together and gives the texture that luscious, cool pudding feel.
6. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, you can serve it as-is or jazz it up with fresh raspberries, chopped almonds, or even a spoonful of peanut butter swirled right in. Have fun with toppings.

Nutrition Per Serving

For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan and do not skip the lemon zest. Leftovers keep well for 2 days in the fridge.
