Looking for a protein-packed snack that tastes like dessert? You’ve found it! This ridiculously thick and creamy Brownie Batter Protein Pudding packs a whopping 26g of protein and requires only 4 ingredients and 5 minutes to make! It’s vegan, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, and addictively DELICIOUS!
I’m so ridiculously excited (!!!!) for today’s post. Two reasons.
First, because I get to do something I love – share a healthy and delicious recipe with you guys that: a) involves chocolate, and b) tastes like a drinkable brownie minus all the sugar and fat. Yes, such things do exist. This ridiculously creamy and chocolatey brownie batter protein pudding is proof of that…
Second, I get to talk about a company I love and possibly introduce them to you if you aren’t properly acquainted yet. I’m talking about PlantFusion, and if you’ve ever asked me for a protein powder recommendation, this is one of the ones that you got because it’s one of the only ones I’ll use myself.
Why? Simple! It tastes good and it’s good for you.
PlantFusion is a 100% plant-based protein powder made from a blend of pea, artichoke, sprouted organic amaranth, and sprouted organic quinoa proteins, and the first one that compares to whey in terms of amino acid density and balance. It’s been enhanced with 4500mg of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and 3,350mg of glutamine, which are important for preventing muscle breakdown and promoting muscle growth. It’s also a complete protein that rocks all the amino acids (including the 8 essential ones our body can’t make on its own), and packs in a whopping 21 grams of protein per a 120 calorie serving.
Sorry, totally having a fangirl geek-out session over here. Can you tell I kind of love this stuff?
And that’s not even all of it!
What I love most is the fact that it’s allergy friendly and super easy to digest, which is perfect for those of us with sensitive stomachs (hi!!!). I don’t know if any of you have ever experienced the pain and/or discomfort that comes with drinking certain protein powders, but that’s actually one of the reasons I gave up on whey – the Buddha belly was real.
What makes PlantFusion epic in this regard is the fact that it’s free of all the major food allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy), AND it’s fortified with an enzyme blend that aids in digestion and absorption… which basically translates to: “no more bloat.”
I can vouch for this because I’ve basically eaten one of these brownie batter protein puddings every day for the past week with no problem…
And because I don’t want to just tell you all this without giving you a chance to experience the amazingness on your own, it’s time for a giveaway!
PlantFusion was awesome enough to offer one of my readers (that’s you guys 💕) a chance to win not one, but TWO 1 lb. tubs of the flavour/product of his/her choice, AND a sampler pack in case you can’t decide which flavour you want (hint: there are no wrong choices – they’re all great. But I DO recommend the cookies ‘n’ crème because it goes AMAZING with cocoa).
You can enter via the widget found below the recipe, and all you have to do is head on over to the PlantFusion products page and leave a comment letting me know which product you’d like to try. I’ll be announcing the winner on Thursday, April 28, and the giveaway is open to Canada and US only. If you want to be sure to get your hands on some, you can order the sampler pack for just $10 (including shipping!!).
And hey! Then you can make your very own vegan, gluten-free, stomach friendly brownie batter protein pudding too! Just sayin’…

Brownie Batter Protein Pudding
- Total Time: 5 mins
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk*
- 1 scoop (30 g) PlantFusion Cookies ‘n’ Crème protein powder
- 3 Tbsp (15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 medium-size (100g) ripe banana, frozen**
- handful of spinach (optional; good for some extra greenies)***
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into any standard blender in the order listed and blend until smooth and creamy. This pudding can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for extra thickness and creaminess. The longer it sits, the thicker it gets!
Notes
* To make smoothie nut free and allergen-free, use a rice milk instead of the almond milk. ** If you’re not keen on bananas, you can replace it with 1/4 – 1/2 of a ripe avocado. *** If you end up adding the spinach, you may need to add a little extra milk too. Start without it and then adjust to your preferences.
- Prep Time: 5 mins

Hmm…I don’t use protein powders much because they are normally high in sugar or expensive, but this intrigues me. I would love to get to try it! I’m super interested in the chocolate and cookies and creme flavors. Maybe vanilla, but that’s kinda iffy with protein powders 🙂
I’m dying to try the cookies ‘n creme!!
Vanilla Bean complete Plant Protein!! I love vanilla, then I can flavor it any way I want!!!
I want to try the Organic Plant Protein in chocolate flavour.
Whaaaatt is life right now!? I need this all over my face. You had me at batter. I WANNA LICK THE SPOOOON. Pun intended? Or maybe not, cause that sounds inappropriate.
I think I’d get the sampler package. I’m terrible at making flavor commitment 🙂
I’ve been looking for a great protein powder!
I think I would like cookies and cream. Because, seriously, who doesn’t love cookies??
I would love to try the Vanilla Plant Fusion protein! I’ve had their cookies n creme and it is absolutely delicious but I would love to try something different! Their products are delicious!!
You seriously can’t go wrong. And vanilla is -definitely- an awesome choice.
Chocolate organic plant protein sounds good
I’d love to try the vanilla protein powder!
I’m always a sucker for chocolate. 🙂
unflavoured! I know it’s boring…but I like to add my own flavours! Thanks for doing this giveaway!
Cookies n cream for me too.
I’d want to try the Cookies n’ Creme protein so I can try this recipe!!
The only protein powder to not irritate my stomach so far is pumpkin seed protein…which has zero taste! I’d love to try cookies and cream for taste and to see how my system responds to it!
It’s 1000 degrees today (or 80, feels the same), and this looks so delicious and refreshing!
Chocolate!
The chocolate and vanilla bean complete plant protein options both sound delicious! I would love to try them (mostly in this pudding).
I LOVE baking with protein powder. I would love to try the Cookies & Cream Complete Plant Protein for my creations, as well as trying recipe because it looks and sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try.
Cookies and Creme sounds amazing!
I would totally do the vanilla bean and use it for smoothie bowls or some pudding of my own . . . I’m always in a pudding for dessert mood!
Chocolate raspberry sounds awesome
i want some cookies n cream
I can’t wait to try this!!!
I would try to vanilla bean! It could go with so many other flavors.
I’d love to try chocolate! I love your recipes and can’t wait to try this one!! Thanks for sharing
I’d love to try Complete Plant Protein. Not sure which flavor–depends on how many grams of sugar are in the chocolate, as well as the vanilla bean flavors. I’m interested in trying the unflavored one too.
This looks yummy! I’m going to make it as my dessert tonight!!
I’d love to try the organic chocolate one!
That pudding looks amazing. This post is so perfect as I am looking for a new plant based protein. I of course need to try the Cookies and Cream. I have a smoothie every morning so Vanilla would be my second choice. Cant wait to try the sampler pack. Thanks for the giveaway
Vanilla! I love versatile flavors that I can work into all sorts of recipes (usually yours). 😍
I made this for a snack today and I’m SO ANGRY that I didn’t double it! It was delicious!
I love PlantFusion! I’ve never tried their chocolate raspberry protein powder, so I think that’s what I’d choose.
Right?!?! Omg that last spoonful is the WORST. And the chocolate raspberry is definitely a good choice!
Cookies and cream sounds great
Cookies and cream for sure!
I would love to try the Complete Protein chocolate flavor because I currently have Vanilla and I LOVE it! Thank you so much for the giveaway Amanda!
