This High Protein Chocolate Pudding is a creamy, rich, and guilt-free dessert that’s perfect for a healthy snack or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2โ€“3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind, for consistency)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  2. Adjust Consistency: Slowly add 2 tablespoons of milk, stirring continuously, until the pudding reaches a thick, spoonable consistency. You can add more milk if you prefer it thinner.
  3. Sweetness Check: Taste the pudding and, if necessary, add a bit more maple syrup or honey to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  4. Chill: Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or containers and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the pudding thicken further and enhances the chocolate flavor.
  5. Serve: Before serving, top with dark chocolate shavings, cacao nibs, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra texture and flavor if desired.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use vegan protein powder.
  • This pudding can double as a healthy fruit dip or a nutritious base for dessert parfaits.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture and creamier pudding.
  • Adjust the sweetener quantity to suit your dietary preferences or sugar intake.
