Protein Dessert Snack (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1 cup (250g) thick Greek yogurt—opt for full-fat for creaminess or low-fat for a lighter touch
02 - 1/2 cup (40g) protein powder—choose from chocolate, vanilla, or plain flavors to suit your taste
03 - A splash of milk—almond, regular, or oat—to adjust the texture
04 - 1-2 tablespoons of creamy almond or peanut butter for a nutty kick
05 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup—add more or less, depending on your sweetness preference

→ Tasty Add-Ins

06 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder for a deep, rich chocolate flavor
07 - 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to pack in extra nutrients and crunch
08 - 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla for a cozy, warm note
09 - A tiny pinch of sea salt to enhance overall flavor

# Instructions:

01 - Spoon the Greek yogurt into a medium bowl—full-fat works for extra creaminess, while low-fat gives a lighter texture. Stir in your preferred protein powder; go with chocolate for richness or vanilla/plain if you want flexibility. Add a dollop or two of nut butter for a creamier consistency and wholesome fats.
02 - Mix cocoa powder for a chocolatey boost and stir in vanilla for depth. A sprinkle of sea salt can balance and brighten the taste. These small additions can make the snack taste next-level.
03 - Grab a whisk or spoon and mix everything together well. It may look clumpy at first, but keep stirring until it feels smooth. If it’s too thick, pour in small splashes of milk and adjust until it’s the texture you like—thick but not hard to scoop.
04 - Taste the pudding to see if it needs a bit more sweetness. Depending on the protein powder you used, some sweetness might already be there. If you want more, drizzle some syrup or honey. If you’ve got chia seeds, stir them in now and let it sit for a few minutes. The seeds will soak up moisture and give the pudding a unique texture.
05 - Spoon it into a dish and dig in right away. If making ahead, place it in a sealed container and refrigerate—it keeps fresh up to three days. Before you eat leftovers, stir it again since it might thicken up as it chills.

# Notes:

01 - Each portion offers 25-30g of protein, making it a great option to refuel after exercise or as an on-the-go snack.
02 - For a fluffier bite, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
03 - Top it off with extras like granola, cacao nibs, fresh berries, or banana slices for added flavor and texture.
