Description
A rich and creamy pudding packed with protein, offering a smooth, indulgent treat that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sweetener or to taste
- 1 tablespoon milk
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
Set up your cooking space by collecting all necessary ingredients. You’ll need protein powder as the base, your favorite nut butter for added creaminess, and almond milk to bring everything together. It’s essential to have these on hand to make the process seamless.
In your blender, toss in the protein powder and nut butter. Then pour in the almond milk. For those who crave chocolatey flavors, add cocoa powder here as well. Make sure everything is in one place before proceeding for an effortless experience.
Secure the lid on your blender and set it to high speed. Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds, or until you achieve a velvety smooth texture. You want to ensure that every ingredient is perfectly combined, creating a luscious, rich base for your Protein Pudding.
This is the fun part—sample your pudding! Give it a taste and see if it needs a touch more sweetness or flavor. If you feel adventurous, you can even add spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract at this point. Make sure to note how it feels to adjust the seasoning for your ideal dessert.
Pour the blended mixture into your chosen serving vessels. Now, it’s time for it to chill in the refrigerator. This not only helps it firm up but also allows the flavors to blend beautifully. Waiting can be tough, but the reward will be worth it!
After the chilling time has passed, serve your Protein Pudding cold. Top with your favorite garnishes, like berries, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of nuts for crunch. Each bite will remind you of how easy it is to create something deliciously satisfying!
