Chocolate Power Pudding

Ingredients

• 20 g buckwheat flakes

• 40 g millet flakes

• 1 banana

• 30 g vanilla plant protein powder

• 50 ml plant-based milk (we used rice milk)

• 20 g peanut butter

• 5 g cocoa powder

• 15 g frozen cherries

Instructions
Combine the millet and buckwheat flakes in a small saucepan with 180–200 ml of water. Cook until the water starts to boil. As soon as it reaches a boil, remove from the heat and let the flakes sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid and soften.

Transfer the mixture to a blender, then add the banana, plant protein powder, plant-based milk, and cocoa powder. Blend well until you get a smooth, creamy texture.

Pour into a bowl, drizzle with peanut butter, and top with the fruit.

When to Eat This Pudding?

This chocolate protein pudding can be enjoyed as a balanced breakfast or as a powerful workout snack, depending on your needs. As a breakfast, it’s a great choice if you train later in the day. Gluten-free flakes provide complex carbohydrates, while plant protein and healthy fats help deliver steady energy without sudden crashes. It’s especially suitable when you want something light, yet highly nutritious.

It also works exceptionally well as a pre- or post-workout snack. About 60–90 minutes before training, the combination of banana and whole-grain flakes provides quick and sustained fuel, while protein supports muscle protection. After training, its smooth texture makes it easy to digest, and the mix of protein and carbohydrates helps support recovery and replenish energy levels.
