Protein Pudding Recipe Protein Yogurt

Why We Love This Protein Pudding Recipe

Cravin’ something sweet but don’t want to sweat your nutritional goals? This homemade protein yogurt recipe is so decadent and creamy that it could be considered protein pudding! Today, I’m showing you how to make vanilla protein pudding (out of yogurt), but you can make a couple of easy swaps for chocolate pudding as well. Here I’ve topped the protein pudding with a little bit of raspberry jam, similar to fruit topped yogurt, but don’t be deceived, the luxurious texture and flavor is more like a pudding than yogurt! Indulge away! Note Before Getting Started: You can have high protein yogurt or high protein pudding with an average amount of carbs based on the sweetener and toppings you place over the pudding. OR you can go super low carb pudding by using low carb protein powder and low-carb sweetener like monk fruit sweetener. Therefore, the nutritional facts do vary based on what product you use.
