Peanut Butter Protein Pudding
Peanut Butter Protein Pudding combines peanut butter and protein powder for a satisfying snack. It’s rich in protein and healthy fats, supporting muscle recovery and keeping me full, while offering an energy boost throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt I used whole milk
- 3 Tablespoons powdered peanut butter PB2 powder
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or 5-6 drops of stevia, to taste
- chocolate chips and peanuts for topping
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine until smooth and no clumps remain.
- Top with a drizzle of peanut butter, crushed peanuts, and chocolate chips.
Notes
- Powdered peanut butter: If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, regular peanut butter works well too. Just note that it will make the pudding thicker. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste. You can also use a whey-based peanut butter protein powder instead. I love the Clean Simple Eats Chocolate Peanut Butter protein powder. If you go this route you likely won’t need the added milk.
- Maple syrup: Instead of maple syrup you can use honey, agave nectar, or stevia for a sugar-free option.
- Make it dairy-free: For a dairy-free option, try a plant-based yogurt option. These won’t have as much protein as greek yogurt, but I love the siggi’s plain plant based yogurt, which has 11 grams of protein per serving.
- Have a peanut allergy? Feel free to use powdered almond butter, regular almond butter, cashew butter, tahini or sunflower seed butter instead.
