Protein Pudding Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (220g)
- 1/2 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt (112g)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (PEScience Chocolate Truffle)
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the low-fat cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, honey, and unsweetened cocoa powder to a blender. Blend for at least 5 minutes until fully combined and the cottage cheese loses its chalky texture. You may need to pause and use a rubber spatula to push the sides down to ensure thorough blending.
- Chill Pudding: Divide the blended mixture evenly into two small pudding cups. Place them in the fridge and let them set for at least one hour to develop a firmer, pudding-like consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once chilled, top the pudding with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings if desired. Alternatively, enjoy the pudding directly from the fridge as a creamy and satisfying protein-rich snack.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for best texture and smoothness.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your preference.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
- Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor.
