Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Spatula
  • Whisk
  • Plastic Wrap

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Substitution: Low-fat Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter version.
  • 4 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder Substitution: Use vanilla protein powder if you’re in the mood for a different taste.
  • 3-4 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Adjust based on your sweetness preference; more cocoa intensifies flavor.

For Extra Flavor

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Substitution: Almond extract could work beautifully for a nutty twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Substitution: Honey or agave syrup can easily fit your dietary preferences.

Instructions

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Using a spatula, ensure everything is well incorporated.
  • Grab a whisk and thoroughly blend the mixture until it's silky and homogenous, which might take a minute or two. You want it to be free of lumps!
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial as it helps the pudding thicken to that perfect, creamy consistency.
  • Once chilled, serve the pudding in individual bowls. For extra flair, top with a dollop of whipped cream, some shaved chocolate, or fresh berries!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can be frozen in individual servings for up to 1 month.
