Tired of Protein shakes? how about a protein dessert instead? Pictures and nutritional info (coming shortly) at: sugar-free Jello Instant pudding (we used pistachio)

2 scoops unflavored Protein Powder (we used NOW unflavored whey powder)

2 c skim milk

Sugar-free cool whip

Method

1. Blend together the protein powder and milk as though you were making a shake.
2. Follow directions on the pudding package to make the pudding with this protein-milk
3. Top with a dollop of cool whip and enjoy!

Yum!

If you're lazy like me and try to modify this using prepackaged sugar free pudding cups, don't use a whole scoop of Protein powder. The texture gets weird - kinda like that spray foam contractors use to fill holes in walls

Hah! It's good to know what NOT to do So did you just try that??

Actually I tried it last week when I ran out of clean cups to take milk to work , but I had some pudding cups laying around. By lunchtime, it was a weird foamy mess!

I mean, it didn't stop me from eating it or anything. It's chocolate, lol.

Ooh, I like the looks of this! I think I am going to try it with lemon pudding. Lemon is my favorite flavor and I've been missing it a lot since surgery. Thanks!

If you do, will you post a picture? I'd love to incude a better than the one I have on my blog. I was in too much of a hurry to eat to take a good one. I'll gladly give you credit for it. Photo courtesy of Bufflehead.

That should confuse a few people (I'm easily amused today, can you tell?)

True! and if you want something really chocolatey, try this one: http://sleevers.wordpress.com/?s=chocolate+mousse&submit=Search

That mousse looks fan-flipping-tastic! Definitely on the menu this week!

Lol, I'll be happy to take a picture but I have to warn you, I am the world's worst photographer! Probably middle of the week before I can do it though.

I just made it and omg. I licked the beater and I'm not even ashamed.

Okay, here is the mediocre picture of the lemon Protein pudding I made:

To give you an idea of portion size, that is a regular size teaspoon and a small dessert ramekin sitting on a saucer.

I made a half-box of pudding with one cup of milk, and then turned that recipe into three servings. Here are my ingredients and the final numbers:

1/2 box sugar free, fat free lemon pudding mix

1 cup (240 ml) Carbmaster vanilla Reduced Sugar Milk

2 scoops* Syntrax nectar Medical Unflavored Protein

1/4 t. lemon extract**

1 dollop fat free Redi Whip

Final numbers per serving: 62 calories, 10 g. protein, 4 g. carb, 0 g. fat.

*Syntrax Nectar Unflavored protein comes in very small scoops! 2 scoops = 80 calories, 20 gr. protein, 0 gr. carbs.

**I put in the lemon extract because I love lemon flavoring, but if you do, be warned that the pudding will set a bit softer than normal. If you like super firm pudding, don't add alcohol-based extracts.

This was super yummy! I have lots of flavors of pudding mix on hand and will definitely be adding this to my repertoire. Thanks!

That's a great pic! I made banana pudding flavor last night. Today, inspired by you, I will try lemon. This, along with my popcorn has become my nightly snack. Replaced the protein shake I used to force down each night. So glad I experimented with it.
