This protein pudding is the kind of treat that almost feels too good to be true. It's creamy, it's rich, and it packs a punch of protein—all without needing a stove or fancy gadgets. I’ve made it while half-awake in the morning and after long, blurry days, and it always hits the spot.

You get smooth texture, solid macros, and a dessert that doesn’t skimp on flavor. It’s not just a better option—it’s the one you’ll actually want to make again. Let’s be honest, that matters more than a dozen unused ‘healthy’ recipes saved on your phone.
