Ingredients
Scale
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 blend everything thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and consistent pudding mixture without lumps.
- Chill to Thicken: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill and thicken for at least one hour, which helps the flavors meld and the texture become creamy.
- Serve and Garnish: Once chilled, give the pudding a quick stir and serve in individual bowls. Optionally, top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Adjust the cocoa powder amount based on your desired chocolate intensity.
- Use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt to reduce the need for vanilla extract and sweetener.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a lower-fat option, use low-fat Greek yogurt, but texture may be slightly less creamy.
