Simple Ingredients for a Delicious Treat
Let’s talk about what makes this pudding so special. We’re using Greek yogurt and peanut butter to create a creamy base that’s packed with protein. The hero of the dish, PB2 powder, gives us that rich peanut flavor without the extra calories—it’s a game-changer in Pb Protein Powder Recipes. Add a splash of vanilla extract for warmth, and a touch of maple syrup or stevia for sweetness. And don’t forget those playful toppings of chocolate chips and peanuts for a crunchy finish!

Let’s Make Some Magic: Step-by-Step
Alright, let’s get whisking! Combine all your ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until it’s smooth, and trust me, this part is oddly satisfying. No clumps allowed! Once it’s silky and ready, top it off with a drizzle of peanut butter, a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, and a handful of chocolate chips. Voila! You’ve got yourself a bowl of creamy heaven.
A Few of My Favorite Tips
Here’s a little secret from my kitchen to yours: if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of cocoa powder for an extra flavor kick. And if you’re a texture lover like me, consider adding some chia seeds for a fun crunch that also boosts the nutritional profile.
How I Like to Serve This
I love enjoying this pudding as a mid-morning pick-me-up or a light dessert after dinner. Pair it with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold almond milk, and you’re in for a treat. Sometimes, I even layer it with fresh banana slices for a fruity twist!
Storing & Reheating (If There’s Any Left!)
If you have any leftovers (not likely, but hey, it could happen!), store your pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It makes for a delightful grab-and-go snack. Just give it a good stir before digging in again.
