5-Minute Protein Yogurt Pudding (Print version)
A thick, creamy no-cook protein yogurt pudding made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and simple toppings in 5 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For the pudding
01 -
3/4 cup (170 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
02 -
1/2 scoop (15 g) vanilla whey protein powder
03 -
1 tablespoon (8 g) certified gluten-free instant vanilla pudding mix, dry
04 -
1-3 teaspoons milk of choice, as needed
05 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener, optional
For topping
07 -
1 tablespoon (16 g) peanut butter, melted or loosened
08 -
1 tablespoon (10 g) mini dark chocolate chips
09 -
Fresh berries, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the Greek yogurt to a small mixing bowl and stir until creamy. This makes it easier to blend in the dry ingredients without lumps.
02 -
Sprinkle in the protein powder and pudding mix in two additions, stirring well after each one until the mixture looks thick and smooth.
03 -
Add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the pudding is glossy and spoonable. Keep it thick, since the toppings will soften it slightly.
04 -
Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener if using. Taste before adding more sweetener because protein powders vary in sweetness.
05 -
Spoon into a serving bowl. Drizzle with peanut butter and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and berries if desired. Serve right away or chill for 10-15 minutes for a firmer pudding.
# Good to know:
01 -
Use thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
