👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Combine 30 grams of protein with sugar-free pudding.
- 2
Add two tablespoons of premier protein shake for each batch, making a total of four tablespoons.
- 3
Distribute the mixture evenly between two Tupperware containers.
- 4
Refrigerate for about four hours until it turns into protein pudding.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Whisk your protein powder with the dry pudding mix for 30-45 seconds before adding liquid to break up protein clumps and prevent lumps, since hydrocolloids in pudding mixes need even distribution to gel uniformly.technique30-45 seconds
- ✓Use chilled Premier Protein shake (refrigerate for at least 2 hours beforehand) because cold liquid slows gelation time, giving you 10-15 minutes of working time to distribute evenly before the pudding begins setting.ingredient2 hours pre-chill for 10-15 min working time
- ✓Refrigerate at exactly 38-40°F for 3.5-4 hours rather than overnight, as gelatin and starch cross-linking peaks at this duration; over-chilling past 6 hours can create a rubbery, separated texture as water is expelled.timing38-40°F for 3.5-4 hours (not beyond 6 hours)
- ✓Divide the mixture into containers immediately after combining (within 2 minutes) because premature gelation of pudding starches will trap air pockets and create an uneven texture if left sitting.techniqueWithin 2 minutes of combining
- ✓Maintain a 1:1 protein-to-liquid ratio by weight (30g protein to ~30mL shake) because excess liquid delays gelling and creates a mousse texture, while insufficient liquid creates a dense, chalky crumb structure.ingredient1:1 protein-to-liquid ratio by weight
