Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat)
- 1/2 cup (40 g) protein powder (chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1–2 tablespoons nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Liquid Adjusters:
- Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk) as needed for consistency
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together Greek yogurt, protein powder, and nut butter until a uniform, velvety texture develops.
- Incorporate optional flavor enhancers like cocoa powder or vanilla extract, stirring continuously to maintain smooth consistency.
- Assess the pudding’s thickness, gradually introducing milk if the mixture appears too dense, creating a luxurious, creamy foundation.
- Sample the mixture and fine-tune sweetness by folding in maple syrup or honey, ensuring balanced flavor profile.
- Sprinkle chia seeds throughout the pudding, allowing them to absorb moisture and create a subtle textural dimension for approximately 5 minutes.
- Refrigerate the pudding for optimal consistency, storing in a sealed container for maximum freshness up to 3 days.
- When ready to enjoy, give the pudding a gentle stir and serve chilled for a protein-rich, decadent treat.
Notes
- Customize Protein Boost by selecting flavored protein powders like chocolate, vanilla, or even salted caramel to elevate taste profiles and add variety.
- Swap Dairy Options by using plant-based yogurts like coconut or almond for a vegan-friendly version that maintains creamy texture and nutritional benefits.
- Control Consistency by adjusting liquid quantities – less milk creates thicker pudding while more creates smoother, more spoonable texture perfect for different preferences.
- Enhance Nutrition by incorporating superfoods like ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, or collagen powder to increase protein and create additional health benefits without compromising flavor.
