When it comes to high-protein desserts that actually taste good, this 2-ingredient protein pudding stands in a league of its own. Not only is it ultra-creamy, but it also takes less than 2 minutes to whip up and delivers an incredible 54 grams of protein per serving. I used to be one of those people who would spend way too much money on single-serve protein puddings at the store only to be left with artificial flavors, questionable additives, and a smaller-than-satisfying portion. So I developed this simple, clean, and delicious version at home and trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Why This Protein Pudding Has a Permanent Spot in My Weekly Meal Prep

• Insane Protein Content: Thanks to the powerful combo of protein powder and Greek yogurt, this snack or dessert delivers a serious protein punch.
• Texture Goals: It’s thick, velvety, and creamy—exactly what you want in a pudding.
• Total Customization: My base recipe uses vanilla, but you can easily turn this into a chocolate, peanut butter, or fruit-flavored dream with just a tweak or two.
• Budget-Friendly: Why pay over $3 for a store-bought version when you can make this at home for under 30 cents per serving?

Whether you’re craving something sweet post-workout or want a nourishing evening dessert, this protein pudding ticks all the boxes.

Ingredients Breakdown (Only 2 – Yes, Really!)

Here’s all you need to make the basic version of my protein pudding:

• Greek Yogurt: I prefer using non-fat Greek yogurt to keep things light, but if I’m after something extra rich, full-fat Greek yogurt adds decadence. For dairy-free folks, coconut or plant-based yogurts work beautifully too.
• Vanilla Protein Powder: My go-to powders are either casein or brown rice protein powder—both lend a thicker texture. I’ve tested whey before, and it just doesn’t give the same creaminess.

📝 Tip: Make sure you actually enjoy the flavor of your protein powder. Since it’s a main component here, its taste will shine through!

How I Make It (Simple Steps, No Fancy Equipment)

Mix: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the protein powder and Greek yogurt. Stir vigorously until smooth and thick. If you’re feeling fancy, now’s the time to add a little sweetener or flavor mix-ins.

Chill (Optional but Recommended): While the pudding is ready to eat right away, I prefer popping it into the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes. It thickens even more and tastes extra indulgent.

Flavor Ideas You Can Try

While I adore the vanilla version, you can get creative with these variations:

• Coconut: Combine coconut yogurt with shredded coconut or coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
• Chocolate: Use chocolate protein powder, stir in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and top with chocolate chips.
• Peanut Butter: Blend in 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter or your favorite creamy peanut butter.
• Strawberry: Mix in 1/4 cup of finely diced strawberries or opt for strawberry-flavored protein powder.

My Best Tips & Tricks

• Go Sweeter if You Like: Add maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or a low-carb granulated sweetener to satisfy your sweet tooth.
• Use Thick Yogurt: Greek yogurt works best for a creamy texture. If using regular yogurt, consider refrigerating overnight for better consistency.
• Add Crunch or Cream: Top your pudding with nuts, berries, chia seeds, chocolate drizzle, or even a scoop of nut butter.

Storage Tips You’ll Love

• Refrigerate: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. If it thickens too much, just stir in a splash of almond milk or your favorite milk alternative.
• Freeze It: Yup, it freezes well too! Portion it into a shallow container and store for up to 2 months. For a frozen treat, blend straight from the freezer for a pudding-smoothie hybrid.
