Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
  • 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chia seeds (if using) to evenly distribute the chocolate and protein throughout the pudding.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your chosen milk, Greek or plant-based yogurt, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, creating a thick and creamy pudding base.
  3. Chill and Set: Transfer the pudding into serving dishes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up and for chia seeds to swell, enhancing the texture.
  4. Optional Toppings and Serve: Before serving, gently stir the pudding and add your favorite toppings such as nuts, berries, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Use a clean, high-quality protein powder for better flavor and consistency.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to suit your taste without overpowering the chocolate.
  • Full-fat yogurt adds extra creaminess and richness compared to low-fat versions.
  • Do not skip chilling; it is essential for developing the pudding’s texture and flavor.
  • For texture variation, add chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or seeds as toppings.
