Ingredients for Sugar-Free Protein Pudding with Apples and Yogurt
- 1 green apple (peeled and chopped)
- egg (large, only for the microwave version)
- 1/2 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (to thicken and add omega 3)
- 2 teaspoons honey (maple syrup or sweetener as desired)
- 1 pinch baking powder (only for the microwave version)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
Steps
Blend the Apple: Put the apple pieces, egg, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and sweetener or honey in a hand blender.
Blend until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream. There should be no lumps of apple.
Add the Thickeners: Incorporate the chia seeds (and baking powder for the microwave version) and mix well with a spoon.
1- Microwave “Cooked” Pudding (Quick): Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe cup or bowl.
Cook at maximum power (900w) for 1 and a half minutes, up to 2 minutes. Times vary based on microwave power and cup size.
The pudding is ready when the edges have solidified and the center is still slightly moist.
Let it cool completely (it will solidify more as it cools).
2- “Overnight” Pudding (No Cooking): Pour the mixture (without the egg) into a glass jar with a lid or a single-serving glass bowl.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or better, overnight.
The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and the Greek yogurt will thicken, creating a cold pudding similar to a pudding.
Breakfast Topping: Chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
Dessert Topping: A sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder, some pieces of dark chocolate, or a dollop of light whipped cream.
Spice Variant: If you don’t have cinnamon, you can use a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger.
How to store the Sugar-Free Protein Pudding
You can store it in the refrigerator for 2 days covered with plastic wrap.
