This refreshing and decadent mint chocolate protein pudding packs an impressive 25 grams of muscle-repairing protein per serving, making it an ideal treat after a tough workout or as a satisfying snack to fuel your day. With its rich, velvety texture and a burst of cool mint flavor complemented by smooth chocolate notes, it’s reminiscent of a thin mint cookie—guilt-free and utterly indulgent. The creamy consistency melts in your mouth, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and refreshing mint that will keep you coming back for more. Not only is this pudding high in protein, but it also provides a good source of healthy fats and fiber, helping to keep you full and energized. It’s versatile enough for meal prep—just portion it into containers and enjoy throughout the week—making it a convenient and nutritious option when time is limited. For those with dietary restrictions, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten-free protein powder or thickeners; vegans can swap dairy milk for plant-based alternatives and select vegan-friendly chocolate and flavorings.

Divide the pudding into two servings.
Top with a sprinkle of chocolate chips or a fresh mint leaf.
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.
