Medium mixing bowl
Whisk or fork
Measuring cup
Spoon
Optional: Blender (for ultra-smooth texture, especially with plant-based powders)

1 scoop Protein powder Use whey, casein, or plant-based depending on your preference.
1/2 cup Milk or alternative Choose regular, almond, soy, oat, or protein-enriched milk.

Add protein powder to a medium bowl.
Choose a bowl that gives you enough room to whisk vigorously without splashing.
Pour in half the milk.
Begin mixing slowly with a whisk or fork until the protein starts to dissolve and thicken.
Add the remaining milk gradually.
Continue whisking until the pudding becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate all powder.
Chill.
Let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes. This allows the protein to fully hydrate and thicken.
Taste and adjust.
Too thick? Stir in a splash more milk. Too thin? Add a small pinch of protein powder and whisk again.

For a thick, pudding-like texture, casein protein works best. It absorbs liquid slowly and creates a creamy consistency.
Whey isolate is more fluid; reduce the milk slightly or chill longer to firm it up.
Plant-based protein powders can be gritty—use a blender or add a bit more milk to smooth the texture.
Want to enhance the flavor? Stir in a dash of vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or cinnamon.
For sweetness, you can mix in stevia, honey, or maple syrup if your protein powder isn't already sweetened.
