Ingredients
5 cups Greek yogurt, full-fat, plain or vanilla
4 scoops chocolate protein powder
3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
Stir in vanilla extract and maple syrup to fully incorporate.
Divide the mixture evenly into serving cups or bowls.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Use non-fat plain Greek yogurt to reduce fat content.
For a dairy-free option, substitute with thick coconut or almond milk yogurt (texture may differ).
Any preferred protein powder (whey, casein, soy, or plant-based) works well; ensure the flavor complements the recipe.
Dutch-processed cocoa provides a smoother, richer taste.
Replace maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or a sugar-free alternative like stevia/erythritol; adjust sweetness as needed.
