One of my favorite childhood desserts were the chocolate and vanilla layered pudding cups that I would pack in my lunch. I recently had a craving for them and decided to make a healthified version to help hit my protein goals! If you are looking for a protein packed sweet treat, try these out.
My Favorite Protein for This Recipe:
For this recipe I use both chocolate and vanilla protein powders. My all time favorite are Isopure protein powders. Isopure has the best of the best Whey protein powders and because they are lactose free, are one of the few protein powders that don’t break me out. Their vegan proteins are also delicious!
