How to Make Protein Pudding at Home
Most sugar-free pudding mixes aren’t exactly nutritious, sweetened with artificial sweeteners and colored with synthetic food dyes. Simply Desserts sugar-free pudding mix is plant-based, stevia-sweetened and free of artificial colors.
Blend it with your milk of choice and protein powder – whey, plant-based or collagen – for a sweet treat that also brings a dose of functional nutrition.
Ingredients
- Simply Desserts base mix (package makes 4 servings): 20 calories, 4 grams net carbs, 270 milligrams sodium
- 2 cups dairy milk or 1 ¼ cups high-protein plant milk (such as Ripple)
- 40 grams unflavored collagen peptides (about 4 rounded tablespoons) or any neutral- or vanilla-flavored whey or plant protein.
Instructions
- Whisk contents of 1 pudding packet with milk. Stir in collagen peptides. Pro Tip: Portion into single-serve jars right after mixing and chill for at least five minutes.
