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. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for about one hour. This chilling period allows the pudding to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once thickened, scoop the pudding into serving bowls. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used or by switching to a sugar-free alternative.
- For a lower-fat option, use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat; however, this may affect the creaminess.
- If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, increase the cocoa powder slightly.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use a high-quality chocolate protein powder for the best taste.
