Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 scoops (about 60g) chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 (1 oz) package sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix (e.g., Jell-O brand)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate shavings
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Continue whisking vigorously for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken significantly and reaches a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
- Divide the pudding evenly into 2-3 small serving dishes, ramekins, or jars.
- Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set and chilled.
- Serve cold, optionally topped with your favorite fresh berries, a dollop of light whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra special healthy treat.
