High Protein Chocolate Pudding 🍫
Rich and creamy dessert to curb your sweet tooth without the added sugar!
Ingredients:
• 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (I used Fage)
• 3 servings of chocolate protein powder
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
Optional: top with chocolate chips or fruit
Directions:
1. In a large bowl mix together the yogurt, milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
2. Once fully combined, put in the fridge covered and allow to sit for a minimum of 4 hours before serving. I usually like it to sit in the fridge overnight
3. Serve topped with chocolate chips or berries
It makes a good amount! Half the recipe if you don’t want as much.

If you’re looking for a dessert that not only satisfies your chocolate cravings but also fuels your body with protein and fiber, this high protein chocolate pudding is a fantastic choice. I’ve made versions of this pudding using plain Greek yogurt like Fage, which adds richness and creaminess while keeping the dessert low in sugar and high in protein. The combination of chocolate protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder offers an indulgent chocolate flavor without the guilt. One key ingredient that enhances both texture and nutritional value in this pudding is chia seeds. They absorb liquid and create a silky, pudding-like consistency while boosting fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. Letting the pudding chill for a minimum of 4 hours—or even overnight—allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the milk and other ingredients, resulting in a luscious and satisfying dessert. When preparing this recipe, I usually tweak the sweetener to my preference, sometimes using honey instead of maple syrup, depending on what I have on hand. I also love topping the pudding with fresh berries or a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for extra flavor and a fun texture contrast. This recipe makes a generous portion, perfect for meal prepping. It’s great for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert option that supports muscle recovery and keeps you full longer thanks to the balanced macros. Overall, this high protein chocolate pudding combines the benefits of Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, and cocoa into one easy, no-bake dessert perfect for anyone wanting a nutritious treat without added sugars. Give it a try—it’s a simple, delicious way to enjoy chocolate while fueling your body right!
Yum, thanks!!
