Description
A silky, sweet, and nourishing chocolate peanut butter protein pudding that works for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, cashew, or oat)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or silken tofu
- 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or peanut butter powder)
- 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener
- 1 splash vanilla extract
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons chia seeds or 1-2 tablespoons instant pudding mix
- Optional add-ins: small banana, cooled espresso, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a blender, combine milk, Greek yogurt or silken tofu, protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. If using chia seeds, add them now.
- Blend on medium speed for 20-30 seconds until smooth and glossy. Scrape down the sides and taste; adjust cocoa or sweetener as needed.
- Blend for another 10 seconds to fully combine.
- Pour the mixture into jars or containers and chill for at least 30 minutes. For a thicker consistency, chill for 1 hour or overnight.
- Before serving, whisk or stir to loosen the texture if necessary. Top with peanut butter, shaved chocolate, or banana slices if desired.
Notes
For a richer taste, use whole milk and Greek yogurt; for a lighter texture, opt for almond milk. Adjust sweetener to taste and add optional toppings for extra flavor.
