Notes
If you are using whey protein, collagen peptides, egg white protein or beef broth protein powder:
Start with 1/3 cup of milk and add more as needed.
Top tips
- When the nut butter is added to cold liquid, it will help thicken the texture. This pudding will continue to thicken in the fridge.
- You may need to set this up in the fridge for 30 minutes for the best texture
- If too thin, store in the fridge or add 1 tablespoon additional protein powder or nut butter
- If you don't have protein powder, use 1/2 cup greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon cacao powder, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup and just enough milk to thin the mixture to a pudding consistency (1-2 tablespoons).
