This super easy s’mores protein pudding is the most delicious, high protein snack. This is what I like to call an “elevated” Greek yogurt but with all the cozy, comforting flavors of s’mores – like a healthy snack disguised as dessert!
Greek yogurt is combined with milk to create a creamy pudding consistency. Then, of course, the toppings add all the flavor. As someone who has to have something sweet everyday, I find that I crave this healthy protein pudding more than the Halloween candy my kids just brought home last week. I am, however, a self-confessed marshmallow lover.
This recipe makes 2 servings that you can keep in the fridge for a grab-and-go snack. Each serving is about 185 calories with 18 grams of protein (no protein powder).
Why You Should Try This Pudding
- It’s a super easy way to increase overall protein intake. Yes, you can just eat a serving of Greek yogurt – but what is the fun in that? This elevates the typical Greek yogurt snack where you won’t even be able to tell it’s yogurt in the first place.
- Tastes like dessert but disguised as a healthy snack!
- Snack prep for a quick, grab-and-go option that will fill you up. Due to the protein content, this is a very filling snack to bridge the gap between meals or a healthier after dinner dessert.
- A snack that also helps to improve the gut microbiome. Yogurt has live, active cultures that can help increase the variety of good bacteria in the gut.
Ingredients
This recipe makes 2 servings that can be kept in the fridge (without the toppings) for up to 4 days.
