Protein Pudding Pies

I created these wonderful things today and I am so excited about them.  They taste great and they are an awesome dessert that is pretty high in protein and fairly low in carbs and fat but you can always tweak the macros to your liking.

I made a Chocolate version and a Vanilla and experimented with the amount of protein.

Filling Ingredients:

• 3 servings of Jello Pudding Mix (Whatever flavor you like. The box I used had 6 servings in it)
• 1/2 cup of Almond Milk
• 1/2 - 1 scoop of protein powder (This is person preference. I found that my protein powder didn’t change the taste whether I used 1/2 or 1 whole scoop but different powders are different. You also may or may not need to add more Almond milk if you use more protein powder. You could use chocolate or vanilla flavor depending on which pudding flavor you use. I used vanilla for both.)

Crust Ingredients:

For the crust I used one of my protein pancakes and baked in a bowl with a smaller bowl on top of it to get it into a pie crust shape and to make it a little crisper.  It worked great!  You could  also use real pie crusts

• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• cinnamon
• (makes 2 pancakes/pie crusts)

Assembly Instructions:

1. Mix all of the filling ingredients together for about 2 minutes 
2. Bake the pancake in a bowl with a smaller bowl on top in a toaster oven at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes 
3. Put the filling in the crust
4. Top with your choice of toppings (slivered almonds, berries, peanut butter, etc.) 
5. Put in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill 
6. EAT ;)

That’s it! Let me know what you think! It’s pretty easy to do. Especially if you have the pancakes pre-made.

The macros will be highly variable depending on what brands you use but for example, for 1 pie mine are: 

• Calories ~ 235 (1/2 scoop protein powder) or 280 (1 scoop)
• Protein - 24g (1/2 scoop protein powder) or 33g (1 scoop)
• Carbs - ~21g
• Fat - 2g
