Description
A rich, chocolatey no-cook pudding made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, chilled into a velvety, high-protein snack or dessert.
Ingredients
5 cups full-fat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
4 scoops chocolate protein powder (approx. 2–3 Tbsp per scoop)
3–4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup, then whisk again until completely homogeneous.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to thicken into pudding.
- When ready to serve, spoon into individual glasses or bowls and top as desired with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Assemble and cover pudding; refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute coconut or almond-based yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
Speed Chill: Freeze for 20–30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to thicken faster.
Texture Variation: Fold in 2 Tbsp chia seeds before chilling for extra body and fiber.
Flavor Swaps: Try vanilla protein powder (omit cocoa) or add 1 tsp instant espresso for mocha pudding.
