This protein pudding recipe is crazy easy and so good! Y’all know that I prefer to keep most recipes whole and unprocessed. However, sometimes you just want a simple, yet guilt-free, sweet treat. When you’re trying to stay lean, a cupcake isn’t the best choice…(insert sad face). I do believe in an occasional indulgence, life’s too short for restrictive dieting, this girl likes to eat!
A few more pudding recipes that you need in your life are this Gluten-Free Homemade Butterscotch Pudding, Coconut Chocolate Chia Pudding, No-Bake Banana Pudding Parfaits, Coconut Chia Brown Rice Pudding, Chocolate Coconut Pudding and this amazing Homemade Chocolate Pudding. Clearly, I have a pudding obsession.
This easy protein pudding dessert has double benefits, getting more protein in my day and having a delicious snack. Win!

November 26, 2017 at 10:08 amHi Amee,
I only see 5OZ or 3.4OZ boxes for pudding at the store. Are we only supposed to use 1.5OZ of the pudding powder?

November 27, 2017 at 4:13 pmHi Mark! If you look at the bottom right corner of a Jell-O brand pudding box (what I have in my pantry at the moment) you’ll see that it says NET WT 1.5 oz (42g). That’s the size box you need. It’s the large box for the Jell-O brand. Hope that helps!
