Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Protein Pudding
This is the easiest protein dessert you will ever make. The raspberries make a great base for the chocolate protein pudding, since they have that perfect blend of tartness and sweetness. Flax seeds are the thickener for this recipe. Plus, they add to the nutritional value. I love that:

And let’s be honest-we all need that little chocolate fix now and then.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious bowl of chocolate protein pudding!
Print
Ingredients
1/3 cup raspberries (frozen is best)
4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp sugar-free syrup
2 tbsp PB2 powder
1 scoop Orgain protein powder
1 tbsp flaxseed
1 chocolate rice cake (crushed for topping)
How to Make the Chocolate Protein Pudding
Step 1: Mash the raspberries in a small bowl until smooth.
Start with frozen raspberries; I recommend microwaving them for about 15 seconds. This will make it so much easier to mash them. Fresh raspberries should also work just fine, but the recipe was tested with frozen ones!
Step 2: Add the almond milk and sugar-free syrup to the mashed berries. Stir to combine.
I use the Great Value brand syrup in my chocolate protein pudding. There are lots of substitutes for the syrup, including maple and regular syrup. You may have to adjust the liquid content when using an alternative.
Step 3: Mix in PB2 powder and protein powder. Stir until incorporated.
Another substitution option here would be the protein powder. Currently, I’ve only used plant-based protein powders. Whey protein powders may affect the final texture, so proceed with caution when substituting. Let me know in the comments any substitutions you try for this chocolate protein powder!
Step 4: Stir in flaxseed and whip the mixture a bit to incorporate air. This gives it a fluffy, pudding-like texture.
Step 5: Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let it thicken.
Step 6: Before serving, mix for a minute, add fruit, and top with crushed chocolate rice cake for added crunch.
Additional Topping Options
There are multiple topping options for this chocolate protein pudding. I would not recommend skipping the rice cake, since it adds texture to the pudding and gives it some volume. If you are in a calorie deficit, it will make you feel fuller too!
Some delicious topping options are any type of berries. Blueberries and raspberries will give this a flavor boost and help cover up any protein powder aftertaste. Chocolate chips, coconut flakes, granola,, banana, peanut butter, and cool whip would also be excellent additions.
