I’m always looking for fun and creative ways to get more protein in my diet. And since, invariably, most of my clients can also benefit by increasing their protein consumption, they often ask me for suggestions.
One of my favorite treats is chocolate protein pudding. I prepare it by blending one packet of sugar-free chocolate pudding mix with 16 ounces of Fairlife milk and one scoop of chocolate protein powder. This simple recipe makes four – 4 ounce servings, with about 14 grams of protein per serving.
I recently came across a recipe for Chocolate Protein Pudding Pops. This frozen treat is delicious, nutritious, and perfect for summertime. Here’s how to make them:
- 3 scoops chocolate whey protein powder
- 4 cups nonfat vanilla (Greek) yogurt
- 1/2 cup Fairlife milk
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and mix thoroughly. Pour into popsicle molds and place in your freezer overnight. Enjoy!
Makes eight – 4 ounce popsicles
