Protein Pudding

Introduction

Protein pudding is the ultimate answer for anyone craving a creamy, dessert-like treat that doesn’t break their healthy habits. Rich, silky, and packed with muscle-building protein, this recipe gives you the flavor satisfaction of classic pudding with the nutritional boost your body needs.

Whip up a batch for a post-workout snack, a quick breakfast, or a not-so-guilty dessert. It’s a treat so simple and versatile you’ll find yourself making it again and again.

High-Protein, Creamy, and Customizable

What sets protein pudding apart is its velvety texture combined with a customizable flavor profile. You can make it dairy-free, low-carb, or jazz it up with mix-ins according to your tastes. With a well-chosen protein powder as your base, you’ll meet your nutritional goals while satisfying your sweet tooth.

Choosing and Blending Your Ingredients

For the best texture, blend all ingredients until completely smooth. Using a powerful blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender ensures your protein pudding is lump-free and luxuriously creamy. Start with your preferred protein powder, add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for creaminess, and milk of choice for consistency.

Enhance flavor with cocoa powder, peanut butter, or berries. For an ultra-smooth result, scrape down the sides midway through blending and pulse again.

Chill for the Perfect Texture

Once blended, pouring your pudding into containers and chilling allows the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken. Use Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for mess-free, portioned storage—perfect for meal prepping or grabbing on the go.

Cover and let it set in the fridge for at least 60 minutes. If you like your pudding extra thick, prepare it a day in advance.

Serving, Garnishing, and Enjoying

Serve your protein pudding straight from the fridge, garnished with fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of granola. For transporting your snack, the Bentgo Salad Container keeps toppings crisp and pudding fresh—ideal for busy mornings or packed lunches.
