A creamy, high-protein vanilla pudding made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, ready in 5 minutes. This versatile snack or dessert packs 16 grams of protein per serving and can be customized with various toppings.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 small servings or 2 larger servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt (e.g., Oikos Triple Zero)
  • 1–2 scoops vanilla protein powder (e.g., Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream)
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup water or milk (optional, for creamy consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Suggested toppings: thawed frozen mixed berries, whipped cream, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, instant vanilla pudding mix, vanilla extract, and water or milk in a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk or stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  3. Top with whipped cream, thawed frozen berries (microwaved about 45 seconds for juiciness), and chopped nuts just before serving.
  4. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days; portion into four small cups or two larger servings.

Notes

Adding an extra scoop of protein powder increases protein content but may make texture gritty., Substitute water/milk with vanilla protein shake to increase protein., Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons chia seeds for extra fiber; pudding will thicken over time, add liquid if needed before serving., Use your favorite flavor protein powder to avoid off taste or grittiness., More topping ideas: crushed graham crackers, Oreo crumbs, Chessmen cookies, granola, toasted coconut flakes, banana slices, cinnamon, peanut butter drizzle.
