PROTEIN PUDDING -- nomnomnomnom
Let's face it - Protein Shakes - get boring sometimes (GASP!) I know, coming from the girl with a column called "Thirsty Thursday" featuring a different protein shake each week. BUT that column is the VERY reason why I must mix things up a bit -- you all see the really GOOD shakes that come from countless efforts to make them unique, easy and still taste good! Each week there are 3-4 shakes that I just down because I don't want to be wasteful -- or its just powder mixed with water because I was too busy to grab anything else.
SO YES, this pudding is my lastest favorite treat! I even have this at night after dinner if my sweet tooth hits me like a mack truck. To prevent that little tooth from raiding my freezer of the treats I KNOW are in there hidden under all my proteins and veggies.
So kids heres the waist-line saving basic recipe:
2-3 tbsp of plain fat free Greek yogurt
about 2 tbsp of whey protein powder, choice flavor
stir in a little unsweetened almond milk til you reach your desired consistency.
And here's the ingredients I often use to AMP up the Pudding to the next --dear God this stuff can't really be good for me - level:
sliced almonds
cinnamon
almond extract or vanilla extract
liquid stevia
unsweetened coconut flakes
fresh fruit
the lower sugar flavors of Greek yogurt (i.e. Yoplait 100 calorie Greek yogurt, Kroger brand Greek Yogurt lite)
Experiment - the possibilities are endless. Consider yourself warned because this stuff really is addictive.
