Ingredients
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 bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Use a whisk to mix everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and the protein powder is fully incorporated.
- Chill the Pudding: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least one hour to allow the pudding to thicken and the flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: When ready to serve, scoop the pudding into bowls or glasses. For added indulgence, top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and fresh berries as desired.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; low-fat or non-fat versions can be used but may affect creaminess.
- Adjust the cocoa powder amount based on your preferred chocolate intensity.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or a sweetener of your choice.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt and a compatible protein powder.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
