Description
A creamy vanilla protein pudding blended with Greek yogurt and milk, topped with fresh mixed berries for a refreshing, nutritious snack or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth, creamy, and thick.
- If using chia seeds, stir them into the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes so they can absorb some liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Gently fold most of the mixed berries into the pudding, reserving a small portion for topping.
- Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars.
- Top each portion with the remaining fresh berries.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before serving for a thicker, creamier texture.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe completely dairy-free.
- Blend the berries into the pudding for a naturally pink berry-flavored variation.
- Add sliced bananas, mango, or other fruits for extra sweetness and variety.
- Top with granola, chopped almonds, or coconut flakes for added crunch.
- If the pudding becomes too thick during storage, stir in a small splash of milk to loosen it.
- Frozen berries can be used; allow them to thaw slightly before mixing.
