Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding (50g to 65g of Protein)

ByMurielM

Honestly, I just want to eat this for breakfast every day.

Of course, it’s meant to be a dessert, but the high protein in this recipe makes it a great way to kick off a protein-packed day. Of course, you can be a normal person and indulge in this rich chocolate with the nutty goodness of peanut butter for a dessert!

Either day, with 50 to 65 grams of protein per serving, you can enjoy this guilt-free any ol’ time of the day!

High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (~50g protein)
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (~10g protein)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter (Naked PB has 9 grams per serving)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or chia seeds (for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Chocolate Base:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the Peanut Butter Kick:
    Stir in the powdered peanut butter and vanilla extract (if using) to infuse the pudding with nutty goodness.
  3. Thicken the Mixture:
    Mix in the xanthan gum or chia seeds to thicken. Whisk thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly combined. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to achieve the desired texture.
  4. Chill for Perfection:
    Spoon the pudding into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
  5. Top and Serve:
    Before serving, garnish with crushed peanuts, a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips for an Extra-Delicious Pudding

  • Adjust Sweetness: If your protein powder isn’t very sweet, add a touch of your favorite sweetener to balance the flavors.
  • Consistency Customization: Add more almond milk if you prefer a lighter pudding or use less for a thicker result.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if the texture changes slightly.
  • Elevate the Experience: Serve in small mason jars or ramekins for a fun, single-serving presentation.
  • Use a Natural Peanut Putter Powder: Brands like Naked PB have a whooping 9 grams of protein and only about 60 calories.

How to Get at least 50g to 60g of Protein in Your Pudding

To hit 60 grams of protein per serving:

  • Use 2 scoops of a high-quality whey isolate or casein protein powder (about 45 to 60g of protein).
  • Combine with 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (10 grams of protein).
  • Add the peanut butter protein powder (7 to 10g of protein)
  • Mix in some low-fat milk, coconut milk or almond milk to adjust the texture while keeping calories in check.

This combination keeps your pudding flavorful, creamy, and packed with all the protein you need for a satisfying treat. Enjoy!
