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
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk everything together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This chilling step allows the pudding to thicken and enhances the flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: Once chilled and thickened, serve the pudding in individual bowls. Optional toppings include whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and fresh berries to add texture and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and rich taste.
- You can adjust the cocoa powder to your preferred chocolate intensity between 3 to 4 tablespoons.
- For a lower sugar version, reduce the maple syrup or substitute with a sweetener of your choice.
- Protein scoop size may vary, so use 2-3 tablespoons per scoop as a general guideline.
- Make sure to whisk thoroughly to avoid clumps of protein powder or cocoa.
- Refrigerate longer if you prefer an even thicker pudding consistency.
