• Sugar-free chocolate Jello instant pudding mix
• Your favorite chocolate protein shake

HOW TO STORE THE LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE PUDDING

1. Refrigerate: This high protein pudding recipe should be stored in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
2. Consume within a few days: Homemade protein pudding is best consumed within a few days of making it. After that, it may start to lose its flavor and texture.
3. Stir before serving: Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Keep in mind the expiration date of the ingredients: The expiration date of the protein shake and other ingredients used to make the pudding should also be considered when storing the leftovers.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Chill Your Shake: Make sure your protein shake is cold before you start. This helps the pudding set faster and thickens it to the perfect consistency.
• Add Toppings: While this pudding is fantastic on its own, feel free to dress it up with some toppings. A dollop of whipped cream, plain greek yogurt, some shaved dark chocolate, or even a few slices of ripe banana can add an extra layer of deliciousness.
• Make It Mocha: For a twist on the classic, use a coffee-flavored protein shake instead of chocolate. It’ll give you a mocha-flavored treat that’s sure to impress.
