Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick and creamy, full-fat or strained recommended)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk or milk alternative (to achieve pudding consistency)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by having your Greek yogurt, protein powder, milk or milk alternative, sweetener, and vanilla extract ready on your kitchen counter to ensure a smooth and hassle-free mixing process.
  2. Combine Yogurt and Protein Powder: In a medium bowl, scoop the Greek yogurt and add your chosen protein powder. Stir gently but thoroughly to avoid lumps, creating a smooth base.
  3. Add Milk and Sweetener: Gradually pour in the milk or milk alternative while constantly stirring until the mixture reaches your preferred pudding consistency. Then, mix in the sweetener evenly to balance the flavor.
  4. Stir in Vanilla Extract: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a delicious aroma and depth; fold it in gently to blend well.
  5. Chill for Creaminess (Optional): For extra thickness and a refreshing chill, refrigerate the pudding for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. If you’re in a hurry, it’s perfectly tasty right after mixing too.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest pudding; full-fat or strained varieties work best.
  • Mix protein powder slowly and gradually to prevent clumps and ensure a silky texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste—start with less and add more if needed.
  • Refrigerate pudding to help it set and enhance texture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different protein powders such as whey, casein, or plant-based versions to match your preferences or dietary needs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as texture may change and become watery or grainy.
  • Enjoy cold or at room temperature; reheating is not advised.
