📝 Ingredients

  • 1 package (1 oz / 28g) fat-free, sugar-free instant Jello pudding mix (any flavor – chocolate, vanilla, cheesecake, etc.)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • Optional: a dash of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or sweetener if needed

🥣 Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and protein powder until fully combined.
  2. Add the milk: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Let it set: Transfer the mixture to a container or individual cups. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Top with berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor!

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Make it thicker: Use slightly less milk (1.5 cups) for a mousse-like consistency.
  • Boost flavor: Use flavored protein powders that complement the pudding mix (e.g., chocolate protein with chocolate pudding).
  • Vegan option: Use a plant-based protein and dairy-free milk.
  • Make it a parfait: Layer with crushed graham crackers, fruit, or granola.
