Cooking notes:
If you prefer a fluffier pudding consistency, blend the ingredients together in a food processor or hand mixer.
What type of milk should I use?
I used 2% cow's milk but you can use whatever milk you prefer and enjoy. For an even higher protein option, try Fairlife 2% milk. You can use dairy alternatives like almond milk or oat milk, but the pudding will not "set up" quite as well as regular milk.
What about Greek yogurt:
Different Greek yogurt brands not only have slightly different flavor profiles but they vary quite a bit with consistency and texture - some are thicker, some are thinner and more “watery”, etc. Keep this in mind when preparing this recipe and choose a plain Greek yogurt option that has a similar consistency you enjoy!
If you already have a brand on hand already that’s on the thinner/more liquid-y side, you can experiment with using less milk for this recipe. The longer you let the pudding mixture sit, the thicker it will be as well.
