Nutrition
Nutrition and Calories in Protein Pudding
The nutrition is based off 1/3 cup of pudding, this is a larger serving than the little cups you can purchase at the store.
You can absolutely enjoy 3 servings as a meal, and it’s a great way to enjoy your protein shake in a new way. I just wanted to give all readers options for both. So if you choose to have this as a meal, the calories will be 274 and the protein will be 39 calories (this is for all 3 servings).
