Ingredients Needed
Pudding Base
- 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate or unflavored whey isolate protein powder
Flavor & Thickening
- 2½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

How to Make Our Keto Chocolate Pudding
- Whisk the base. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk almond milk and cocoa powder until smooth and fully dissolved.
- Sweeten gently. Add sweetener and salt, stirring constantly so the cocoa stays lump-free.
- Add protein carefully. Lower heat and whisk in protein powder and Greek yogurt, stirring continuously to keep the texture smooth and creamy.
- Thicken the pudding. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until the pudding coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
- Finish and chill. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, then pour into serving bowls. Chill for at least 30 minutes to fully set.
This gentle method keeps the pudding silky while preserving protein structure and keto-friendly texture.
