Description

A creamy, high-protein dessert made from protein shake, Greek yogurt, and optional flavor enhancers. Perfect for a healthy post-workout snack or guilt-free treat.

Ingredients
  • 1 scoop protein powder
  • 1/2 cup protein shake
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • Sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Toppings (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Mix the Protein Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the protein powder with the protein shake. Whisk until smooth, ensuring no clumps remain.
  2. 2
    Add Yogurt: Fold in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. This adds creaminess and thickness.
  3. 3
    Enhance Flavor: Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener to taste.
  4. 4
    Thicken with Chia Seeds (optional but recommended): Add chia seeds and mix thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for 3–5 minutes, then stir again to avoid clumping.
  5. 5
    Chill & Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, chill for 2–4 hours or overnight. The longer it rests, the thicker it becomes.
  6. 6
    Serve & Top: Spoon into serving cups, add desired toppings, and enjoy chilled.
