Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients for this Healthy Protein Dessert

  • 1 cup (245g) Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 2 scoops (60g) Chocolate Protein Powder (whey, casein, or a blend)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Peanut Butter Powder
  • 1 tablespoon (5g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 12 tablespoons Almond Milk (or milk of choice), adjust to desired consistency
  • 12 packets of Stevia (or sweetener of choice), to taste

Optional Toppings for this Healthy Protein Dessert

  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Chopped Peanuts
  • Fresh Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Sliced Banana
  • Whipped Cream (low-fat or dairy-free)
  • Granola

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter powder, cocoa powder, and stevia. Initially, the mixture will be quite thick.
  2. Add Liquid: Gradually add the almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring continuously. Subsequently, continue adding milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Keep stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of powder remaining. Consequently, the pudding should have a uniform texture.
  4. Chill (Optional): While you can enjoy the pudding immediately, chilling it for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator will enhance the flavor and create a firmer texture. Therefore, consider this step for optimal enjoyment.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl or individual containers. Add your desired toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt. However, keep in mind that this will increase the fat and calorie content.
  • If you don’t have peanut butter powder, you can use 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Nevertheless, be aware that this will add more fat and may require slightly more liquid to reach the desired consistency.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Start with less stevia and add more as needed. Furthermore, you can substitute with other sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, but this will alter the nutritional profile.
  • This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consequently, it’s a great make-ahead option for a quick and healthy dessert.
  • Get creative with toppings! Try different combinations of fruits, nuts, seeds, or even a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.
