Ingredients and Substitutions

Collagen powder is what’s used to bump up the protein in the yogurt pudding along with these 4 ingredient protein bars. As one of the cleanest sources of protein, you’re getting a huge bang for your buck. Learn about collagen versus protein powder, and know that you could also use whey protein here.

I use a dairy-free Greek yogurt for the recipe. However, you can use a regular Greek yogurt (which you would have to make it paleo-approved) in its place. With vegan yogurts, the texture is slightly different with each brand so your pudding may come out more or less thick depending on that.

I also used a sweetened yogurt (key lime to be exact). If using a plain Greek yogurt, you’ll want to add a splash of maple syrup or honey (to taste) when you mix it up.

Expert Tips To Make It

If you decide to make this yogurt protein pudding with a vegan protein powder, know that the result will be unbelievably thick. Vegan protein powder absorbs liquid like crazy so you may want to scale back by a tablespoon.

I’d suggest mixing the collagen powder into the yogurt before adding in the peanut butter. Collagen powder requires vigorous mixing so that it doesn’t clump. Then, add the peanut butter and know that natural peanut butter works best as it blends better.

How To Make Greek Yogurt Protein Pudding

How To Store Them

The protein pudding is best enjoyed immediately upon making it. However, you can store it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Know that it will change the texture a bit, though depending on the yogurt you use.

Flavor Variations

Below are some of my favorite ways to adjust the flavor of the Greek yogurt pudding. And the best part is that the variations are crazy simple too.

Yogurt: Changing the flavor of the yogurt you use will obviously change the whole taste. Try a classic vanilla or a rich berry for a fresh start.

Crunch: Add some toasted pecans into the protein pudding for a delicious texture.

Drizzle: Though I went with peanut butter, drizzling caramel sauce or dairy-free chocolate sauce on top makes this taste like dessert.

Fresh fruit: For a breakfast recipe, I top mine with fresh berries, pineapple, or any other fruit I have on hand.

Granola: Add some crunch and healthy fats by topping the pudding with protein granola or chocolate protein granola.
