Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons stevia or any non-caloric sweetener
- 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Whisk them together over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Continue to heat the mixture, stirring consistently to prevent burning, until it begins to thicken and simmer, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 2 minutes to ensure the pudding achieves a custard-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a minute.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, salt, and stevia or another sweetener of choice. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the scoop of protein powder and blend until well mixed. Use a whisk for a smoother texture, ensuring no lumps remain.
Divide the pudding evenly into 4 serving cups or bowls.
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
Serve chilled, and enjoy your healthy, protein-packed chocolate treat!
