As mentioned, this pudding is high in protein. Protein is an important nutrient for muscle growth and repair, and can also help to boost metabolism and promote weight loss. 

Along with protein, this recipe offers high energy carbs from almond milk. Almond milk is a good source of dietary fiber, which can help to regulate digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome.

Ingredients

  • Casein Protein Powder: Casein protein powder is key to this recipe because it allows this mixture to reach a good texture. I like Gen-Tec Casein Custard, Optimum Nutrition Casein, or Nutribio Micellar Protein. All of them offer good texture and flavor and are third-party tested. I used a caramel flavor to go with my apple pie theme, but you can use any flavor of casein that you like.
  • Almond Milk:  I used almond milk in this recipe to add some creaminess and a bit of sweetness. You can use any other type of milk if you prefer, but I do not recommend using skim milk or soy milk as they will not produce the desired results.
  • Any Desired Toppings: I used sliced apple and cinnamon to top this pudding, but you can use any healthy toppings that you’d like. Some good ideas include berries, chopped nuts, or seeds.

How To Make Casein Protein Pudding

Step 1

Mix together your casein protein powder and almond milk in a bowl or shaker cup. Start with only a little bit of the almond milk, stir, and then add more until you’ve reached a good, pudding-like consistency.

If desired, add any sweeteners, flavors, or toppings at this point. I added a sliced apple and some cinnamon for mine.

Customizations 

If you want to make this pudding higher or lower in calories, you can simply adjust the ingredients that you use. 

For a high calorie pudding, use higher calorie ingredients like nut butters or oils. 

For a low calorie version, use lower-calorie ingredients like unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana.

If you have a nut allergy and cannot consume almond milk, use a different type of milk such as coconut, oat, or rice. 

If you want to change up the flavor of your pudding, there are many different things that you can do. Try adding cocoa powder, spices, or different types of sweeteners.

How To Store & Meal Prep:
