How to Make Our Keto Strawberry Pudding
- Blend the strawberries. Add strawberries and almond milk to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Warm gently. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium-low, stirring often, until warm but not boiling.
- Add protein and creaminess. Lower heat and whisk in Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Thicken the pudding. Cook for 3โ4 minutes, stirring, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Chill to set. Remove from heat, pour into serving dishes, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to fully set.
This gentle method keeps the pudding silky smooth while preserving protein structure and fresh strawberry flavor.
