Ingredients

Low-fat Greek yogurt 1.4 cups
Cocoa powder unsweetened 1 tbsp
Sliced almonds 3 tbsp
Stevia or sweetener to taste

Method

Measure Ingredients. Start by measuring 1.4 cups (about 336 grams) of low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons (42 grams) of sliced almonds. Adjust the amounts carefully to meet the target macros.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accuracy, especially for yogurt and almonds.
Mix Yogurt and Cocoa. In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt and cocoa powder. Use a spoon or whisk to mix them together thoroughly until the cocoa is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and evenly chocolate-colored.
Tip: Mix slowly at first to avoid cocoa powder flying out of the bowl.
Add Sweetener. Add stevia or your preferred sweetener to taste. Start with a small amount, mix well, then taste and add more if needed until you reach your desired sweetness.
Tip: Remember stevia is very concentrated, so add gradually.
Top with Almonds. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the pudding. The almonds add a pleasant crunch and healthy fats to the dish.
Tip: Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes if you want extra flavor.
Serve and Enjoy. Your protein pudding is ready to eat immediately. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if you prefer it colder and thicker.
Tip: Chilling also helps the flavors meld together nicely.

Pro tips

Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients precisely for best macro control.
