Confession time everyone!! As much as I am fairly good about eating healthy, I am weak around chocolate. It is my weakness. After a hard test day, or maybe after a really hard workout, all I want is a little chocolate lovin'. It's so good! (milk chocolate though, not my favorite. I'm a dark chocolate kind of person) So anyways, I try to make chocolate "healthier" because the craving comes up too often for me not to. When I discovered this idea of putting chocolate protein powder in plain Greek yogurt with some agave (thanks for the idea Ally), I fell in love. Now I haven't done my research on protein powder and if it is really all it is cranked out to be, nor do I know if it is all natural, BUT I don't know if I care enough at this moment. Maybe one day I will dig my head into a little research (but where to even begin for reliable sources?! Geesh!). Anyways, if you ever need a little chocolate fix and/or you want something really filling and fairly healthy, then please. Let me lead you to my friend "Protein Pudding"!
Side note: This actually a really good way to snack if you find yourself a little hungry in the middle of the day or at night. It is full of protein from the greek yogurt and the protein powder, and it has a good amount of fat (which is GOOD! Don't be scared about it!), and some nice carbs from the agave nectar. It is really balanced, therefore, your body will have everything it needs and your brain will detect that you are full! Hurray for feeling satisfied for longer!! :)
Ingredients:
- about 2/3 cup or so of plain Greek Yogurt (my new favorite is Fage Total)
- about 2 tablespoons of chocolate protein powder (I have just been using Shakeology because it has been the only thing in my dad's cupboard...I heard its expensive. Not sure on that one!)
- as much agave as you want to thin it out and sweeten it up a little
1) Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and enjoy!
