Description
A super-creamy protein snack you can make in minutes. Use just Greek yogurt and protein powder if you want the bare minimum — or add a few extras for richness and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250 g) plain Greek yogurt — full-fat for silkiness, or low-fat for a lighter result.
- ½ cup (40 g) protein powder — chocolate or vanilla work great; unflavored keeps options open.
- 1–2 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut, or your favorite) — optional, for extra cream and healthy fats.
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder — optional, if you want deeper chocolate notes.
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey — optional, to sweeten to taste.
- Splash of milk (dairy or plant) — only if you need to loosen the texture.
Instructions
- Put the Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl.
- Add the protein powder and nut butter. If you’re using cocoa powder or vanilla, add it now.
- Whisk or stir vigorously until the mix is uniform and silky.
- If the pudding is too stiff, add a little milk a teaspoon at a time until the consistency suits you.
- Taste and sweeten with maple syrup or honey if desired.
- (Optional) Stir in chia seeds for extra body and let sit 5 minutes to thicken.
- Serve right away, or cover and chill.
Notes
- Storage
- Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Optional boosts & flavor ideas
- ½ tsp vanilla extract — rounds out the flavor.
- 1 tbsp chia seeds — adds fiber and a pudding-like texture.
- Pinch of flaky sea salt — brightens the chocolate and balances sweetness.
- Quick tip: If you want an ultra-smooth finish, blend everything briefly in a small blender or with an immersion blender before chilling.
