View Full Version : Working on: Power-Packed Protein Pudding

It was a catchy name, so I had to use it.

But, I'm working on coming up with this (though it's probably already been done and perfected. But, the idea is to

1.) find a way to eat cottage cheese without feeling like I just ate chunky milk,
2.) Add a significant source of protein to my diet to bump my numbers up and
3.) to have a 'treat' that's not bad for me and accomplishes all these goals.

What I was thinking was a pudding, something like:

1/2 cup Cottage cheese (zero fat)
1 scoop chocolate whey
1/4 packet of Zero fat chocolate jell-o pudding mix.
Some milk to make it more like pudding.

Blended

I figure that should give about 13g protein from the cottage cheese and 25g (if my memory serves me correctly) protein from my drink mix.

It would accomplish all three of my goals, boasting an impressive 38g protein with every helping! Also low in carbs, low in fat.

The totals would have to be adjusted (As I actually haven't tried making it yet)

I was also thinking of adding ground flax seed to bump up the fat content in my diet (as I'm still at about 10%), but that would be an individual change.

Anyone ever tried it? Thoughts?

I've blended cottage cheese "smoothies" for a long time.

For instance:

1 cup LFCC
1 scoop Nitrean (vanilla or chocolate work)
1 Tbs natural PB
1 Tsp cinnamon
3 packs spenda
and/or some 0 cal chocolate or caramel drink syrup (Torani or DaVinci brand)
water and ice to get to desired consistancy.

I'll mix it up and sub flaxseed oil/flaxseeds for the PB sometimes.

This is a frequent bedtime meal for me. Lots of slow proteins to keep me fed overnight with some healthy fats to slow down digestion even more.

Fantastic!!

I'm going to buy a blender tonight (I think), as well as some creatine (As I've been thinking about it and it seems like a great idea) though I wont be putting the creatine into the pudding.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I used to experiment with a similar recipe, and finally after I while I just removed the cottage cheese all together, and made it completely with whey/casein protein powder, natty pb, jello, and enough coffee to completely dilute it and fill the rest of the bowl. Put in the freezer and stirred periodically, and in about 6 hours it turns into the most delicious frozen pudding of all time.

Only thing is that it's an exercise to eat more cottage cheese lol.

I'll give it a shot tonight.


Though... I wonder if it could be used as filler in a shake of some kind, though it sounds kind of nasty lol.

*edit* I'm a dummie, just read MannishBoy's post

The protein "pudding/bar" that I made on Sunday night:

2 cups skim milk
2 cups rolled oats
1 package sugar/fat free pudding (i used chocolate)
8 scoops protein powder ( i used choc nitrean)


First I whisked the protein and milk together, then added the pudding mix and mixed it in. Finally added the oats and folded them in w/ a spatula. Sprayed the bottom of a glass baking dish w/ olive oil spray, then poured out the mixture. Throw in the fridge.

Portion however it fits into your daily needs. Lots of protein and good carbs. I've already hooked on it :drool:
