Caution - Allergen & Dietary Alerts
Please read before making, especially if preparing for others.
- Contains dairy (as written): Greek yogurt and milk are used. Why: dairy is a common allergen; for a vegan version use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk (the recipe already notes a dairy-free option).
- Optional nut garnish: If garnished with nuts, this adds tree nuts. Why: tree nuts are a major allergen; skip or choose seeds instead.
- Naturally gluten-free if your protein powder is certified gluten-free. Why: some brands are processed on shared lines.
- Egg-free and honey-free as written.
Always check individual product labels, as ingredients and "may contain" warnings vary by brand.

About This Recipe
This is the kind of recipe that makes "good for you" feel like a treat. It is a creamy, vanilla-scented pudding you can whisk together in a couple of minutes, with enough protein to genuinely satisfy a sweet craving rather than just chase it. Think of it as dessert that loves you back.
The base is simple: thick yogurt for body and tang, a scoop of plant protein for staying power, and real vanilla to make it taste indulgent. A short chill lets it set into a spoonable, pudding-like texture, and your favorite toppings make each bowl feel a little different.
It is naturally flexible - keep it vegetarian with Greek yogurt, or make it vegan with a dairy-free alternative. Either way, a serving of Hanuvier's Plant Protein & Collagen Booster, which combines plant protein with collagen-supporting nutrients in a single daily serving, slips right in.

Servings: 2
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 2 scoops Hanuvier Plant Protein & Collagen Booster
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tbsp milk of choice, to reach the desired consistency
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Hanuvier Plant Protein & Collagen Booster, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth with no clumps of protein powder.
- If the pudding is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a creamy, spoonable consistency.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, then garnish with fresh berries or seeds.
Chef's Tips
- Whisk well. A few extra seconds of whisking is the difference between silky and lumpy - a small frother works beautifully.
- Make it vegan. Use a thick dairy-free yogurt (coconut or almond) and plant milk.
- Control the sweetness. If your protein powder is unsweetened, add a little maple syrup or mashed banana.
- Add texture. Top with berries, seeds, granola, or a spoon of nut butter.
- Chill for best texture. A short rest in the fridge lets it thicken into a proper pudding.

Wellness Connection
A high-protein pudding is a small, satisfying example of working with your cravings rather than against them. The protein and yogurt make it genuinely filling, the vanilla makes it feel like a treat, and the whole thing comes together without anything processed or fussy. Reaching for something like this when a sweet craving hits is the kind of gentle, repeatable choice that supports the body as a connected whole - the heart of how Hanuvier thinks about wellness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make this vegan?
Use a thick dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut or almond, and a plant-based milk. The method stays exactly the same.
How long does it keep?
Store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will thicken further as it sits; loosen with a splash of milk if needed.
My pudding is lumpy - what happened?
The protein powder was not fully whisked in. Whisk vigorously, or use a small frother, and add the milk gradually to keep it smooth.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, as long as your protein powder is certified gluten-free.
What is Hanuvier's systems-based approach to wellness and beauty?
The body functions as an interconnected system, with nutrients participating in multiple biological processes and often working alongside one another. Hanuvier uses this systems perspective to develop thoughtfully formulated products that support wellness, beauty, or both through a holistic approach rather than a single-ingredient focus.
