Prepare the pudding base: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt.
Add the protein powder and cocoa powder: Stir in the chocolate protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder until they are fully incorporated into the yogurt.
Flavor it up: Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup to the mixture. Stir everything together until the pudding is smooth and creamy.
Chill (optional): For best results, refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken even more.
Serve: Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or cups and enjoy immediately. You can also top it with extra chocolate shavings, fresh fruit, or nuts for added texture.

Store any leftover Protein Pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If the pudding is too thick, add a little milk (or plant-based milk) to thin it to your desired consistency.

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt alternative and plant-based protein powder.

You can adjust the sweetness with more maple syrup or other sweeteners like stevia or agave syrup.

Freeze individual servings for later, though texture may change once thawed.

For extra texture and protein, add chia or hemp seeds to the pudding.
