Okay I do mean it, whether it’s for breakfast, dessert or after a workout – you really do need to try this chocolate bread pudding.

I made this for my evening snack after remembering that bread puddings exist from a post I saw on IG; And boy did I regret not having remembered before!

Another major regret – a good one – was making this a high protein single serve bread pudding instead of going for a full-size.

Ingredients for Chocolate Protein Bread Pudding

• Chocolate Protein Powder needed for high protein bread pudding and also replaces the ‘sugar’. I used part whey-casein Chocolate flavor from Quest Nutrition, and part whey Chocolate from Dymatize for this recipe.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder
• Unsweetened Almond Milk or regular milk
• A bit of Greek Yogurt to replace the heavy cream and make a fat free bread pudding
• An Egg White
• Optionally, Ground Cinnamon

Sugar free Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips – I use monk fruit sweetened ones from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here). Lily’s is another sugar-free option!
