Prep Time 10

Servings 4

Ingredients

5 cups full-fat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
4 scoops chocolate protein powder (approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons per scoop)
3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Optional Toppings:

Fresh strawberries, sliced
Fresh blueberries
Whipped cream
Shaved dark chocolate

Instructions

Add all ingredients - Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup - into a large mixing bowl.
Whisk together until completely smooth with no lumps. This takes about 2 minutes of good stirring.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, or transfer to individual airtight jars or glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to thicken and the flavors to fully meld together.
When ready to serve, top with whipped cream, fresh berries, and shaved chocolate if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

You can eat the pudding right after mixing - it will just be softer and more mousse-like in texture. Chilling is strongly recommended for the best results.
Use a protein powder you genuinely enjoy, since the flavor comes through clearly in the finished pudding.
For vanilla pudding: use vanilla protein powder and skip the cocoa powder.
For strawberry pudding: use strawberry protein powder and blend in some fresh or frozen strawberries.
Store without toppings in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add toppings fresh before serving.
Honey can be substituted for maple syrup in equal amounts.
