Description
A rich and creamy pudding packed with protein, offering a deliciously smooth and satisfying treat that’s both indulgent and nutritious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sweetener or to taste
- 1 tablespoon milk
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by assembling everything you need for your Protein Pudding. Grab your protein powder, nut butter, cocoa powder (if you’re feeling chocolatey!), and unsweetened almond milk. Having these ingredients at your fingertips will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
In a blender or a mixing bowl, combine your protein powder, nut butter, and almond milk. If you’re adding cocoa powder for a chocolate twist, now is the time! Make sure to use the right amount, as this will affect the flavor and creaminess of your Protein Pudding. The mixture should look inviting and ready to transform into a delightful treat.
Now, it’s time to blend! If using a blender, blend on high speed until all the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is silky smooth. Don’t rush this step; a good blend will enhance the flavor and make your Protein Pudding velvety! If you’re using a hand mixer, just keep whisking until you reach that perfect consistency.
Taste your mixture to see if it needs a little more sweetness or flavor. Perhaps you’d like to add a drizzle of maple syrup or a dash of vanilla extract! This is your chance to customize your Protein Pudding—make it uniquely yours by adjusting the flavors to your liking.
Once the mixture reaches perfect proportions, pour it into serving cups or bowls. Then, pop these in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to deepen and the pudding to set, making it a refreshing treat when you’re ready to indulge!
After your Protein Pudding has chilled, it’s finally time to dig in! Consider topping it with fresh fruits, nuts, or granola for added texture and flavor. Each spoonful will marvel you with its creamy goodness—perfect for a quick snack or a post-workout delight!
Notes
Storage Tips
Your Protein Pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. Just make sure to cover it well so it stays fresh. The flavors may deepen even more after a day, giving you that extra deliciousness!
Customizations
Feel free to experiment with flavors by using different protein powders or nut butters! Vanilla, chocolate, or even berry protein – the options are endless! Tailor your Protein Pudding to suit your cravings or dietary preferences.
