Greek yogurt protein pudding recipe is the creamy, guilt-free treat you’ll be enthralled with! I'm in love with this ultra high-protein pudding, packed with over 50 grams of protein per serving!
You know those days when you just NEED something sweet, but you also kinda want to keep things healthy-ish? (Because, balance, right? 😏) This Greek yogurt "pudding" is just it and is so easy with two basic ingredients!
This stuff is creamy, dreamy, and packed with protein, so it actually keeps you full instead of giving you a sugar crash. No cooking, no weird ingredients—just simple, wholesome goodness in every bite.
Why you'll love this Greek yogurt pudding

Okay, enough talking. Let’s make some pudding! Here's a few details for the success of your protein pudding and substitutions.
Consistency
The consistency of Greek yogurt is already thick, and when you mix the protein powder with it, it makes it even thicker and more "pudding-like"! Be sure to mix it quickly and for a bit until any visible protein chunks are bleanded in. That way you get that creamy silky texture. If you want it thicker, use ¾ cup Greek Yogurt, if you want it thinner, use 1 cup of Greek yogurt.
Protein powder options
You can use whatever protein powder you like, but I suggest either vanilla or chocolate flavor, not plain. I use a whey protein that I love from Central Market but I also suggest and use Orgain protein powders (affiliate link) as they are plant based. Use code DANIELLEF15 for 15% off your first Orgain purchase.
Swaps and tweaks
Dairy-Free? Swap Greek yogurt for coconut or almond yogurt.
Keto-Friendly? This is totally keto so you can skip the toppings and just add nuts.
Berry Bliss? Mix in mashed raspberries or fresh strawberry jam or blueberry jam for a fruity twist.
Extra Protein? Top with hemp seeds or nuts.
How long does the pudding last?
Not gonna lie, I usually eat mine immediately because it’s that good. But if you somehow have leftovers, just pop it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep or late-night cravings. If the toppings are already on they may get soggy so eat it within 2 days.
Recipe ingredients
- plain Greek yogurt (non-fat for health benefits)
- vanilla protein powder
- granola for topping (optional)
- fresh berries for topping (optional)
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until smooth. That's it! Serve immediately or refrigerate for an even creamier texture.
- Top with fresh berries, granola, dark chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of nut butter.
Enjoy your deliciously healthy Greek Yogurt Pudding—rich, smooth, and absolutely satisfying!
