Ingredients
5 cups Greek yogurt, full-fat, plain or vanilla
4 scoops (2–3 tbsp each) chocolate protein powder
3–4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Whisk ingredients to combine until smooth and uniform.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding for 1 hour to thicken.
Serve with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and berries if desired.
Notes
Use chilled Greek yogurt for instant thickness without extra chilling.
Whisk vigorously to prevent lumps from protein powder.
Adjust cocoa powder gradually to control bitterness.
Use low-fat or dairy-free yogurt for lighter or vegan options.
Substitute vanilla protein powder for milder taste.
Use raw cacao for deeper chocolate notes.
Replace vanilla extract with almond extract for nutty flavor.
Swap maple syrup with honey or agave syrup.
