Instructions

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.
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.
Sweetness Check: Taste the pudding and, if necessary, add a bit more maple syrup or honey to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
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.
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.
