Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Power Pudding


Anyone following my Master Plan for 2024 is aware of my goals around fitness.



My current gym has this seriously cool machine that measures not only weight, but also lean muscle mass, water retention, and all kinds of things.  Their diet plan recommends someone my size to consume 120 - 130 grams of protein each day.  Every.  Single.  Day.  Since I'm not a big meat eater, that feels pretty much impossible.  We have a private gym group on Facebook, so I asked for high protein dessert recipes.  Sweets are very difficult for me to resist. 

A fellow member recommended this one and I love it!  She didn't give it a name, so I'm calling it

Protein Power Pudding

12 ounces Milk of your choice

1 scoop Protein Powder of your choice

1 box of Sugar Free Pudding, flavor of your choice

Simply whisk all the ingredients together and chill.


That basic recipe has brought me a long way from craving sugary snacks.  Ice cream is a big trigger for me to overeat lots of unnecessary calories!  Today, I'm sharing a favorite twist on the basic recipe.  Here are the ingredients if you want to copy brands exactly.  



Most of it came from my local Target store, but ours doesn't carry much fresh produce.  Strawberries were purchased elsewhere.



Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Power Pudding

12 ounces Vanilla Soy Milk

1 Box Jello Cheesecake Pudding, sugar free

1 Scoop Vanilla Premier Protein Powder

Chopped Strawberries, enough to cover bottom of serving bowl


Whisk first three ingredients together until smooth.  Place a layer of chopped strawberries in the bottom of your serving bowl.  I used about 3/4 cup.  Gently pour pudding mixture over strawberries, covering evenly.  Chill.  Finish with sugar free whipped topping and a fresh strawberry.



Enjoy!

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
