Protein Pudding Recipes

I've heard there is a pretty good store bought one called Stallone I think, but I make my own. I have several different recipes.

My favorite is to make sugar free pudding by replacing the 2 cups milk it calls for with 1-1/2 cups blended cottage cheese with 1/2 cup skim milk (or water to reduce calories) I know it sounds weird but it really tastes good. It reminds me of pudding made with whole milk.

The one I’ve been using lately is:
1.4oz sugar free chocolate pudding mix
2 cans of Low Carb Slimfast and
1-1/2 scoops of protein powder.
The entire batch has 680 calories, 76 protein, & 36 carbs. I divided it up into 4 servings which breaks it down to (170/19/9). Plus the added vitamins & minerals that Slim Fast adds to the mix.

It tastes pretty good as is but I usually like to put it in the freezer for about 1/2 hour until it starts to freeze then stir until it is about the consistency of a Wendy's Frosty. I also like to stir in 1/2 tablespoon of P.B. just before I eat it. That bumps the breakdown up to (217/21/10) but is worth it to me.

Like I mentioned before my favorite is to replace the Slimfast with 2 cups cottage cheese & 1/2 cup skim milk that has been run through the blender until completely smooth before mixing with the pudding mix. The cottage cheese has a better protein to carb ratio than the protein powder and is an all natural substitute for those that don't want to use Slim Fast or Protein powders. The end results taste really good, it reminds me of my mothers puddings made with whole milk. It does NOT taste like cottage cheese in any way. The best thing about the cottage cheese blend is that it works great with all kinds of different flavors. I've used it to make the sugar free cheesecake mix as well as a sugar free lemon pudding. The cottage cheese also makes a thicker pudding which helps fill me up. You can change it up all kinds of ways. I've mixed in frozen bananas, frozen strawberries. A dash of Lime juice in the cheesecake flavor to make it more like key lime pie. A couple friends of mine also like to add instant coffee to the chocolate pudding (YUCK!)


The nutritional data on 1/2 cup 1% Cottage Cheese is 14 protein to 3 carb and 81 calories. Approx 4.5 to 1 Ratio for Protein to Carbs
-Vs.- The Whey powder I have right now which is 21 protein to 4 carb but 120 calories. Approx 5 to 1 Ratio but more calories.

The cottage cheese is a great Idea-thanks. I will try it with the jello cheesecake flavor with a graham cracker at the bottom-cheesecake!!!!!

Thank you Ghost!
My husband (also banded) has a late night sweet thing going on, and I just don't keep "temptation" in the house period & I need to come up with something in a "healthy" way. Love the cottage cheese idea, I can totally do that, maybe add some fresh berries~
I'm so glad I lost my sweet tooth , DH however gets pissy I don't have a litt'le something - something for him...Again thanks!:)

Protein pudding is a wonderful supplement that many bodybuilders have found to be a great way to knock back 25 grams of protein while enjoying a delicious snack. However the cost often makes enjoying it on a daily basis prohibitive. Here is a recipe or homemade protein pudding, which will allow you to enjoy the same, benefits of delicious protein, with complete control over protein content and flavor.
You'll need:

• 1 Box (3.9 Ounce) Jell-O Instant Pudding
• 2 Scoops Whey Protein (Any Brand Works)
• 1-Cup Skim Milk
• 1-Cup Cold Water

Directions:

• First, mix milk and water into bowl
