Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Protein Pudding Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Cocoa and Protein Powder: Whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder in a medium bowl until they are fully blended and smooth.
  2. Add Liquid Ingredients: Gradually pour in the milk along with the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, stirring continuously to create a smooth and creamy mixture.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired, ensuring the pudding matches your preference.
  4. Refrigerate to Set: Pour the pudding mixture into serving cups or containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow it to thicken and set properly.
  5. Serve Chilled: Once set, serve the pudding chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas, or sprinkle with nuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste or dietary requirements; maple syrup or honey can be substituted with stevia for a lower-calorie option.
  • For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add more protein powder.
  • Serve immediately after chilling for the best texture.
  • Toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or fresh berries pair well with the chocolate flavor.
