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, such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring continuously to create a smooth, homogenous mixture without any clumps.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding mixture and add more honey or maple syrup if desired to reach your preferred sweetness level.
  4. Chill to Set: Pour the pudding into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow it to thicken and set properly.
  5. Serve: Serve the pudding chilled, optionally topped with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Notes

  • Use any milk or plant-based milk alternative depending on dietary preferences or restrictions.
  • For a vegan version, choose a plant-based protein powder and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • If you prefer a thicker pudding, reduce the milk slightly or add a spoonful of chia seeds and let it sit longer.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to customize toppings—coconut flakes, dark chocolate shavings, or nut butters work well.
