Print Recipe

A quick, macro-friendly protein pudding cup with creamy texture and crunchy almonds, perfect for a healthy snack or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or chocolate whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla, full-fat or low-fat
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (can skip or swap with stevia)
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped almonds (raw or roasted)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 scoop of protein powder and ½ cup Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Fold in 1 tablespoon chia seeds thoroughly.
  4. Transfer mixture into small serving cups or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow pudding to thicken.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped almonds on top. Optionally, toast almonds lightly in a dry skillet for 2 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Add almond milk gradually to reach desired consistency. Use an immersion blender if lumps form. Chia seeds can be soaked separately for faster thickening. Store almonds separately to keep crunch. For a colder treat, freeze for 10 minutes before serving.
