Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or low-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder thoroughly to blend the chocolate flavors evenly and avoid any lumps.
  2. Add Liquid Ingredients: Slowly pour in your chosen milk and Greek yogurt while stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Sweeten to Taste: Gradually add your preferred sweetener, tasting as you go until you reach the desired sweetness.
  4. Add Optional Ingredients: Stir in chia seeds or any additional add-ins you prefer, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
  5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and the flavors to meld, resulting in a thick and rich texture.

Notes

  • Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, creamy pudding.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more chia seeds or reducing the liquid quantity as preferred.
  • Use a high-quality protein powder for enhanced flavor and nutritional benefits.
  • Try natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a low-sugar option.
  • Refrigerate to improve flavor and pudding consistency before serving.
