Protein Powder Pudding, my first try

Tweet

There was an amazing deal on vegan protein powder on Amazon: it was 50% off and you could get one free if you bought two. My mother got some and later I followed suit. Apparently the reason the price was so good is that the expiration date was approaching. Then my mother found better protein supplements and let me have her share of these. I've been drinking one protein shake every day but I got fed up with it. The smell has become off-putting, it's plant-based and has a bit of a beany scent. Chocolate can also be a bit pungent sometimes. So I looked for recipes and I came across the protein powder pudding! Here's the "recipe": greek yog(h)urt, one cup, protein powder, half a cup. Whey proteins are preferred, vegan proteins might require additional liquid due to their tendency to be more absorbent. I mixed one cup (150 g) of vanilla greek yogurt with maybe 2 scoops of chocolate vegan protein powder (30 g). I liked the way it looked and didn't add more liquid. I got flavored greek yogurt because I've never been a fan of yogurt and was afraid the simple kind would have been too sour. I'm not sure the scoops were 2 because it was the very bottom of the container and I couldn't scoop, so I poured it all. The first spoon was delicious, then it became overwhelmingly sweet. Trying plain greek yogurt won't happen any time soon; next time I will add less protein powder and perhaps some cocoa. I don't know if coffee mixes well but that could also be a way to make the pudding less sweet. I'm positive I'll successfully "crack the code" for the perfect protein powder pudding! And I'll let you know when I do. Nutritional values were the following: 234 kcal 21 g of carbs/sugars 1 of g fat 33 g of protein! Would you try this pudding? Now that I look at the photo I took, maybe it wasn't as good as I thought. It seems peanut butter, I should have added more liquid as the recipe suggested. Oh well, next time.
