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
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Chill Pudding: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour. This allows the pudding to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the pudding chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; low-fat versions can be used but will be less rich.
- Adjust cocoa powder to taste depending on desired chocolate intensity.
- Maple syrup quantity can be modified based on personal sweetness preference.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative and use a vegan protein powder.
