S’mores Protein Pudding with Greek Yogurt

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!

Two glasses full of s'more protein pudding made with Greek yogurt topped with marshmallow cream, crushed graham crackers and mini chocolate chips on a counter.

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.

  • Chobani Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt (1 1/2 cups). You can sub with preferred yogurt but this specific one contains less calories, less sugar and more protein than others.
  • Milk (1/2 cup). I used skim milk. Fairlife milk is a great option for a little more protein or whatever milk you prefer.
  • Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon).
  • Salt (1/8 teaspoon). This is an ingredient that you don’t want to skip. It really enhances the flavor of the yogurt and makes it less tangy!
  • Honey (1-2 tablespoons). Add a little sweetness to this yogurt pudding with honey, maple syrup or preferred sweetener.
  • Toppings: whipped cream or marshmallow cream, mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, and mini marshmallows.
  • Vanilla protein powder, optional. If you want to increase the protein content even more, you could add 1 scoop of protein powder.

Step-By-Step Instructions

It’s so easy to elevate your Greek yogurt to make it like a tasty dessert! While you can enjoy this snack all-year long, it’s perfect for cozy season. Get your s’mores fix even when you’re too lazy to go outside and make a fire.

  1. Add milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract and salt to a large bowl.
  2. Whisk ingredients until smooth and well-combined.
  3. Portion into two small glasses or airtight storage containers. You can also keep in a large airtight storage container in the fridge and portion when ready to eat.
  4. Top with marshmallow cream (or whipped cream), mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows when ready to eat! Give it a stir and enjoy. Top with more honey or whipped cream if you prefer it to be sweeter.

Storage Guidelines: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days for best results.

Customizations

Add banana slices for a more well-balanced snack (or possibly breakfast) and to increase fruit intake for the day.

Drizzle some melted chocolate on top for more of a chocolatey flavor.

Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds plus 1/2 cup more milk and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to increase the fiber content.

Whisk 1-2 scoops of vanilla protein powder to increase the protein content.

Incorporate cinnamon into the Greek yogurt mixture for added depth of flavor.

Sub the Greek yogurt with a high protein, plant-based yogurt and plant-based milk to make this recipe dairy-free. Fairlife milk is 99% lactose-free.
