Description

This high-protein chocolate pudding is a quick, no-cook dessert or snack made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and almond milk. It’s creamy, satisfying, and perfect for post-workout recovery or curbing sweet cravings the healthy way.


Ingredients

  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and almond milk to the dry mixture.
  3. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy, using a whisk or fork to break up any clumps.
  4. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding maple syrup or honey, if desired.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes to let it thicken.
  6. When ready, give it a quick stir and enjoy as-is or with toppings like fruit, granola, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Use plant-based yogurt and protein powder for a dairy-free version.
  • Add more almond milk if the pudding is too thick.
  • Customize flavor with vanilla extract, cinnamon, or instant coffee.
  • Top with fruit, nuts, or coconut for added texture and taste.
