Ingredients
Scale
Protein Base:
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (40 g) protein powder
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) nut butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy) as needed to thin
Instructions
- Gather a spacious mixing vessel and amalgamate Greek yogurt with protein powder, ensuring thorough integration of dry and creamy components.
- Incorporate nut butter into the mixture, whisking vigorously to create a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Enhance flavor profile by introducing optional elements like cocoa powder or vanilla extract, blending seamlessly.
- Assess pudding consistency, gradually introducing milk if the mixture appears overly dense, stirring until achieving a smooth, pourable state.
- Fine-tune sweetness by drizzling maple syrup or honey, tasting and adjusting to personal preference.
- For additional nutritional boost and textural complexity, fold in chia seeds and allow pudding to rest approximately 5 minutes, enabling seeds to absorb moisture and slightly thicken.
- Transfer pudding to serving dish immediately or store in sealed container within refrigerator, maintaining optimal freshness for up to 72 hours.
Notes
- Protein powder selection matters hugely for taste and texture, so choose a high-quality brand with good flavor profile.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations and added nutrition boost.
- For dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or plant-based alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Customize protein pudding with toppings like fresh berries, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate shavings for extra indulgence and visual appeal.
