INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl, whisk together the protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and sweetener.

Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set.

Divide the pudding into two servings.

Top with a sprinkle of lime zest and a dollop of whipped cream.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My puddings are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
