Ingredients For Chocolate Pudding

This recipe is very simple, including 3 commonly found and available materials, includes some extras but those are optional. Keep around because I am going to let you know everything about the ingredients that you should know before making this delicious recipe.

Greek Yogurt

For this recipe, I used low fat Greek yogurt but full fat yogurt can be used. The difference is that your pudding will have a little more calories and fats. If you’re lactose intolerant, then use a dairy free yogurt without any hesitation. If you want to get more protein, then opt for soy yogurt.

Protein Powder

For the best results, choose whey protein powder for this recipe as it blends easily and provides a pudding-like consistency. If you prefer to use vegan protein powder or casein, be prepared to adjust with some milk due to their higher liquid absorption. Opt for chocolate protein powder for a deliciously sweet flavor without the need for additional chocolate. If you want my advice, use chocolate whey protein powder.

Cocoa Powder

This is the optional ingredient depending on the type of the protein powder you choose. As i already chose chocolate flavored protein powder, i didn’t feel the need for extra cocoa powder but you have to add some if your protein powder is of another flavor or has no flavor at all!

Leaving these 3 ingredients behind, The pudding may require the need of a sweetener such as honey and maple syrup but again, this comes down to the type of protein powder you have at home. Most of the products come with added sugar, some don’t. Make sure that your pudding tastes sweet by trying it a bit after blending. Add in some sweetener if you think the sugary taste is low.

Elevate The Pudding By Adding More Mix-Ins

Don’t limit your own creativity simply by limiting yourself thinking that this recipe only has 3 ingredients.

Add in some extra nuts, chocolate chips which adds more texture and taste to this diet protein pudding.

Which Protein Powder Is Most Suitable For Pudding?

This recipe is versatile with the option to use any type of protein powder, but whey is the best choice. It produces a pudding with a smoother, creamier consistency without any grains, due to its excellent mixing properties and minimal moisture absorption.

Vegan protein powder and casein are less effective at blending with yogurt due to their high absorbency but you can still make high protein puddings with vegan protein powder or casein. The only thing to do if you use these powders is adding more yogurt and milk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

How to Make Protein pudding At Home
