Ingredients
- 1½ cups vanilla Greek yogurt I used Oikos Triple Zero. Can sub with a higher protein plant-based yogurt.
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder I used Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream
- 1/4 cup water or preferred milk optional, but thins out the pudding to the perfect consistency
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Recommended toppings: frozen mixed berries (thawed in microwave), whipped cream, chopped nuts, and/or mini chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, pudding mix, vanilla extract, and water (or milk) to a mixing bowl.
- Stir or whisk until the pudding is smooth and well combined with no lumps.
- When ready to eat, top with whipped cream, thawed frozen berries, and a chopped nuts. I like to microwave frozen mixed berries for about 45 seconds so the juices add more flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Can divide into four smaller serving or two larger. Small Pyrex dishes or any small airtight container work well for these pudding cups.
Notes
- More fun toppings: crushed graham crackers, Oreo cookie crumbs, Chessmen cookies, mini chocolate chips, granola, toasted coconut flakes, sliced bananas, sprinkle of cinnamon, and/or drizzle of peanut butter.
- To increase protein content, add another scoop of protein powder or use a vanilla protein shake as a replacement for the water/milk.
- Adjust the consistency of the pudding with more/less water or milk.
