Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or Fork
  • Plastic Wrap or Lids

Ingredients
  

  • 2 scoops 50g protein powder (flavor of your choice)
  • 1 cup 240ml milk or protein shake (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup 120g Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or xanthan gum as a thickening agent

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder and thickening agent (chia seeds or xanthan gum).
  • Slowly pour in the milk or protein shake, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Add Greek yogurt (if using) and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste the mixture, and if additional sweetness is needed, stir in a natural sweetener.
  • Divide the pudding into individual serving cups or leave it in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thickened.
  • Serve chilled, garnished with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or chocolate chips.

Notes

For a vegan option, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk/yogurt.
To enhance thickness, let the pudding sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Experiment with flavors like chocolate-peanut butter, mocha, or vanilla-berry by adjusting the type of protein powder and toppings.
Double the recipe for meal prep, storing in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
Enjoy this nutritious and customizable protein pudding for a healthy snack or dessert!
