Although this simple recipe makes the perfect quick, (lazy if you like) breakfast with absolutely minimal preparation it also makes a perfect midday snack or post-workout snack.

It’s packed with protein, tastes like dessert and is the perfect healthier and lighter way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. It’s super easy to make and you only need 6 ingredients to put it together. You can enjoy it as an instant pudding, or chill in the fridge for a couple of hours for a thicker dessert.

Smooth, creamy, robust chocolate flavor – all wrapped up in a truly rewarding dessert that may be the easiest dessert to make! No mixer, oven, blender, baking dishes, or specialty ingredients are required here. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting patiently for it to cool and set.

With a base of yogurt, its versatile, nutritious, and delicious. But what if we took it up a notch and added a rich, chocolatey twist? Enter homemade chocolate protein yogurt – a creamy, indulgent treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth the healthy way.

Why I love making this chocolate yogurt pudding:

Chocolate yogurt is not something I’ve come across often, but I have seen a rise in high protein chocolate puddings, which gave me the idea of making a homemade version, but healthier by using Greek yogurt as the base. It mixes very well, super yummy and is very filling.

The result is a healthy pudding like dessert that tastes amazing, but is also packed with gut friendly probiotics, healthy fats and antioxidants. Another great thing about this yummy recipe is that each serving offers a whopping 41g of protein and only 215 calories, not bad for a tasty chocolate pudding!

As well as being healthy with only a few ingredients, this delicious breakfast is also ready in no time! You simply mix the ingredients together, top it with your choice of toppings and serve it immediately. You can also make it in advance and store it in the fridge for a quick grab and go snack/dessert.

There’s even more to love about this pudding: no leftovers to worry about – that’s the benefit of small batch cooking

Why you need to try this chocolate yogurt pudding:

Control over ingredients: Unlike most treats that you pick up from the supermarket, even the so called ‘healthy’ versions, there’s often many questionable ingredients like flavourings, emulsifiers and stabilisers.

By making your own easy desserts at home like this chocolate yogurt deliciousness, you have complete control over what goes into it.

Nothing beats homemade – It will always taste better and be better for you!

Mixes very well, super yummy, very filling.

Customisable: You can adjust things like the sweetness to your preference, making it as rich or as light as you like. You can also change around the ingredients depending on likes/dietary needs.

Probiotic-Rich: Yogurt contains beneficial probiotics that support gut health, making this chocolate yogurt pudding a great snack to enjoy in between meals or a lighter dessert. A really easy and fun way to feed your microbiome!

Cost-Effective: Making flavoured yogurt at home can be more cost effective than buying pre-made versions, especially if you make it regularly.

Fun and Rewarding: There’s a certain satisfaction in making something from scratch, and this classic, creamy recipe is surprisingly easy to make…and after trying this silky, decadent chocolate pudding recipe, you will never want store-bought again!
