You can add protein powder to shakes and smoothies, or use it in desserts, such as this vanilla protein pudding!

There are many ingredients that go into an amazing protein pudding. However, we have found that these ingredients are simply the best! They are as follows:
⅓ cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt, 75g: You can substitute this for a vegan variety, but make sure that it is also non-fat!
¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, 60ml
½ scoop Vanilla Protein Powder, 15g: Vanilla (see also: Healthy, Yummy, Sugar-Free, Protein Powder Pop Tarts Recipe!) protein powder is very sweet and will make up for the lack of sugar in the recipe. Plus, the vanilla tastes very rich and indulgent, perfect for dessert to end the day!

This easy and healthy protein pudding is so much fun to make. It is so simple you can make it with your little ones, if you’re on the go, or as a post-workout snack.
The first step is to gather all of your ingredients and mixing tools – your bowls, whisk, etc.

Whisk all of the ingredients together.
Add more milk if the mixture is too thick, and more pudding mix if the mixture is too thin.
Top with your favorite fruit or granola. We like to use bananas!

Tips For Making Delicious Vanilla Protein Pudding
Here are some additional tips for making delicious vanilla protein pudding, so you can get it right first time. It is helpful to remind yourself of these tips before you start cooking so nothing goes to waste.
It is best to use cold yogurt and milk.
Don’t just use any old vanilla protein powder. Use whey-caesin. It blends excellently and the result is a smooth, creamy dessert.
It is best to add all of the milk you will be using at the same time. This helps to prevent over-mixing.
Make sure you use a whisk to remove all of the lumps from the mix.
When using the whisk, make sure you stop when the mixture is smooth. You do not want to overmix.
If topping the protein pudding with bananas, make sure they’re ripe, but not overripe. So, if your bananas have brown spots on them, you should avoid using them.
Do the taste test! If your protein powder needs to be sweeter, use stevia powder. Stevia powder will sweeten your protein pudding without changing its consistency.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
