Yogurt Protein Dessert (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it
02 - 1-2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter for a nutty twist
03 - Splash of almond, oat, or regular milk to tweak the thickness
04 - 1/2 cup (40g) protein powder (pick your preferred flavor: chocolate, vanilla, or plain)
05 - 1 cup (250g) creamy Greek yogurt (choose full-fat for richness or low-fat for a lighter feel)

→ Extras to Boost Flavor

06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to add warmth
07 - 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for crunch and added nutrition
08 - Pinch of sea salt to bring out flavors
09 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate vibe

# Instructions:

01 - Pour your Greek yogurt into a medium bowl as the base. Go for full-fat if you want that thick, creamy feel, or pick low-fat if you're keeping it light. Add your favorite protein powder flavor—chocolate pairs amazingly with nut butter, while plain or vanilla gives you flexibility. Toss in a spoonful or two of nut butter, which adds richness and healthy fats to make everything come together.
02 - Sprinkle in cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist and mix in vanilla extract for extra depth. If you're into balancing flavors, a small pinch of sea salt can make everything pop. These little touches are what take a good snack to the next level.
03 - Use a spoon or whisk to stir the mixture thoroughly. Don't worry if it's bumpy at first; keep mixing until the texture smooths out. Make sure there aren't any pockets of dry protein powder hiding. If it feels too thick, stir in small splashes of milk until it's just the way you like it—not too stiff but thick enough to scoop.
04 - Taste the mix and decide if it needs extra sweetness. Your protein powder might already have some sweetness, but you can add a little honey or syrup until it's perfect. If you're using chia seeds, now's the time to fold them in. Let the pudding sit for about five minutes, so the chia can soak up some moisture and make everything thicker with tiny bursts of texture.
05 - Dig in immediately by spooning it into a bowl or glass for a pretty presentation. If you're making it ahead, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge—it's good for up to three days. Before eating leftovers, give it a quick stir because it might firm up a bit while chilling.

# Notes:

01 - Each serving packs around 25-30g of protein, making it perfect for after a tough workout or as a handy snack.
02 - For a fluffier texture, let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before digging in.
03 - Jazz it up with toppings like banana slices, berries, granola, or cacao nibs for extra crunch and flavor.
