Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 5 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat, plain or vanilla)
- 4 scoops chocolate protein powder (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per scoop)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to thoroughly blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Chill and Thicken: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill and thicken for at least one hour. This resting time helps the flavors meld and the pudding reach its ideal creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: When ready to enjoy, stir the pudding briefly, then portion it into serving dishes. Optionally, top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
Notes
- You can adjust the cocoa powder amount to your preferred level of chocolate intensity.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar for sweetness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and ensure protein powder is vegan-friendly.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and richer taste.
- This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
