What Is Protein Pudding?
Protein pudding is a creamy, satisfying dessert that combines the indulgent texture of traditional pudding with muscle-supporting protein. By using casein protein powder, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or protein-enhanced ingredients, these puddings deliver 20-35 grams of protein per serving while tasting like a decadent treat.
The secret to great protein pudding lies in casein protein, which naturally creates a thick, creamy consistency when mixed with liquid. This slow-digesting protein also provides sustained amino acid release, making protein pudding an ideal evening snack or pre-bed meal that supports overnight muscle recovery.
From chocolate to vanilla, chia pudding to mousse, the world of protein pudding offers endless variety. These desserts can be made in minutes, require no cooking, and provide a delicious way to hit your protein goals while satisfying your sweet tooth.
