This rich, creamy chocolate protein pudding is a high-protein dessert that tastes indulgent but is secretly nourishing. Quick to make and endlessly customizable, it’s perfect for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or a healthy treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 scoops (about 60g) chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) Greek yogurt or silken tofu (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or stevia, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients before starting.
  2. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. If using a bowl, add dry ingredients first, then liquids.
  3. Blend on low speed, then increase to high for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend again for 10-15 seconds until smooth and glossy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as needed. Add more sweetener or milk if desired, or more chia seeds for a thicker pudding.
  5. Pour the pudding into serving glasses or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours or overnight for best texture.
  6. Serve cold, topped with berries, yogurt, cocoa nibs, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For best texture, use a blender. Adjust sweetness based on your protein powder. Chill thoroughly for a thick, creamy pudding. For dairy-free, use plant-based protein, milk, and yogurt. Add-ins like peanut butter, cinnamon, or berries are delicious. Keeps up to 4 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.
