Can I use whey protein for this protein pudding recipe?

Yes, you can use whey protein, but it tends to be thinner than casein. To get a thick pudding texture with whey, use less milk or add a thickener like xanthan gum or chia seeds.

How long does protein pudding stay fresh?

When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this protein pudding recipe will stay fresh and delicious for up to 3-4 days.

Is this protein pudding recipe vegan-friendly?

It can be! Simply use a plant-based protein powder (like pea or soy protein) and a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.

Why is my protein pudding grainy?

Graininess is usually caused by the type of protein powder used or not mixing it thoroughly. Try using a high-quality, finely milled protein powder and blend it if necessary for a smoother finish.
