This rich and creamy Chocolate Protein Pudding is a delicious, high-protein dessert or snack that combines the deep flavor of unsweetened cocoa with the nutritional boost of chocolate protein powder. Easy to make and perfect for a post-workout treat or a healthy indulgence, it’s naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup and can be enjoyed chilled, topped with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined and free of lumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients Gradually: Slowly pour in the milk, followed by the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, stirring continuously to create a smooth, well-blended pudding mixture.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter pudding. Stir well to incorporate any additional sweetener.
  4. Chill to Set: Pour the pudding mixture evenly into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow it to thicken and set properly.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, serve the pudding cold. Optionally, top with fresh fruit like berries or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of milk or plant-based milk alternative to customize flavor and dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and choose a plant-based protein powder.
  • If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk before serving to reach desired consistency.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding a pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
