Protein Pudding with Greek Yogurt (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup (250 g) Greek yogurt, full-fat for creaminess or low-fat for a lighter texture

02 - 1/2 cup (40 g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder, or unflavored for flexibility

→ Creaminess and Sweetness

03 - 1–2 tablespoons nut butter such as almond or peanut butter

04 - 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste

→ Optional Enhancements

05 - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor

06 - Milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy), added as needed to adjust consistency

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for added depth

08 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds for fiber and texture

09 - A pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor

# Instructions:

01 - Place Greek yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, and any desired optional ingredients such as cocoa powder or vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.

02 - Thoroughly whisk or stir ingredients until fully blended and smooth. If the mixture is excessively thick, gradually incorporate a small amount of milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

03 - Taste the pudding and, if necessary, add maple syrup or honey to reach preferred sweetness.

04 - For added fiber and a thicker texture, gently fold in chia seeds and allow the pudding to stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

05 - Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.

# Notes:

01 - Full-fat Greek yogurt provides a richer texture, while low-fat options reduce calories.

02 - For a deep chocolate note, include cocoa powder and a pinch of sea salt.

03 - Chia seeds can naturally thicken the pudding and increase fiber content.
