In our quest for a delightful yet health-conscious treat, we present a delectable recipe for Dark Chocolate Protein Pudding, designed with the Weight Watchers program in mind. Satisfying both your sweet tooth and nutritional goals, this pudding seamlessly blends rich flavors with a protein-packed punch.

Ingredients for a Healthier Indulgence:

Begin crafting this guilt-free delight by combining 1 scoop (approximately 30g) of chocolate protein powder with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Opt for a protein powder that aligns with your Weight Watchers plan to ensure a harmonious balance of taste and wellness. Introduce 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the mix, stirring diligently to create a smooth, lump-free base.

Enhance the sweetness with 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sugar-free sweetener, adjusting to your desired taste. A teaspoon of vanilla extract introduces a warm, aromatic note that elevates the overall flavor profile. The inclusion of 2 tablespoons of chia seeds not only contributes to the nutritional value but also acts as a natural thickening agent, transforming your pudding into a velvety, spoonable delight.

Crafting the Perfect Consistency:

Allow the amalgamation of ingredients to flourish by refrigerating the mixture for a minimum of 2-3 hours, or, for optimal results, leave it overnight. This crucial step enables the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and instill the pudding with a luxuriously smooth texture. Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir to guarantee an even distribution of flavors and consistency.

1 pt chocolate protein pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder (ensure it fits your WW plan)
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other milk of your choice)
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and sugar-free sweetener. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
2. Gradually add the almond milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid clumps.
3. Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until you have a smooth, consistent mixture.
4. Stir in the chia seeds. Chia seeds will help thicken the pudding as they absorb liquid.

6. Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to ensure an even texture. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
