Notes
- Fruit Substitutions: You can swap peaches or blueberries for other berries or fruits of your choice. Frozen fruit works well—just thaw slightly before blending.
- Protein Powder Options: Whey, plant-based, or any vanilla-flavored protein powder can be used. Adjust powder quantity to fit your nutritional goals.
- Milk Alternatives: Almond milk works best for a light, creamy texture, but any milk (dairy or non-dairy) can be used.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Make a batch in jars for a quick breakfast or snack throughout the week. Pudding stays fresh for up to 4 days refrigerated.
- Extra Toppings: For added crunch, try granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or chia seeds on top before serving.
