Peanut Butter Cup Protein Pudding (323 cals and 20g protein!)

Round three of my silken tofu protein puddings because I honestly can't get enough. They're so simple to make, creamy, sweet and packing serious protein for pretty minimal calories. These protein pudding recipes are great dessert options or even high protein snacks!

I love love love a sweet treat that packs protein but doesn't taste like protein. So often we try protein desserts that are gritty and not lush at all, but I am here to tell you this silken tofu pudding is anything but. I also promise it doesn't taste like tofu! And, if you're not big on protein powder, unlike my other two protein pudding options, this Peanut Butter Cup Pudding has no protein powder in it and still packs 20g of protein per serving. You're going to love it!

Why You'll Love This Protein Pudding Recipe

• Just 6 ingredients.
• Easy to make! The pudding is made in one blender, then just cover it in melted chocolate.
• High in protein and low in calories. 
• Great for a high protein dessert or sweet snack option. 
• Meal prep friendly, especially if you're someone who loves a sweet treat during the week!
• Lightly sweet and full of peanut butter flavour. 

 

What You'll Need To Make This Protein Pudding Recipe

• Silken tofu or soft tofu is essential for the base of this recipe. 
• Peanut butter powder for the protein and peanut butter flavour. 
• All natural peanut butter for a little added richness. 
• Coconut sugar or another granulated sugar of your choosing. I don't recommend a liquid sweetener because we want to keep this as thick as possible. 
• Dairy free chocolate. I tend to use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. 
• Olive oil or a neutral oil for melting with the chocolate. 

 

Substitutions

If you have peanut butter protein powder you could use that in place of the peanut butter powder. 

Alternatively you could use almond butter powder and all natural almond butter.

Any granulated sugar of your choosing. 

In place of melted chocolate you could top this with coconut whip or enjoy it as is. 

Storing 

Peanut butter cup protein pudding should last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

I highly recommend either these glass meal prep container (pictured) or these glass meal prep containers for food safe storing. Using glass food containers is a non-toxic way to store your food, while being dishwasher safe, easy to clean, and durable.
