I followed Unjury's recipe and I didn't like it at all. They said two scoops, I think it was too much. There was kind of a film on top of the Jello. I could only force myself to eat a couple bites. If I ever made it again, I'd go with one scoop.

Yes, you can make Jello or pudding with Protein powder to make a reasonable Protein rich snack. With the Jello, I mixed the Protein Powder into the cold Water that then got mixed into the Jello mix and hot Water mixture as the Protein Powder doesn't usually like getting too hot. I used the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored protein powder for this use, four scoops mixed into one of the large boxes of mix - the ones that use 2 cups of hot water and 2 cups of cold water. It yields about 10g protein for a half cup serving and it worked OK for me, but I was glad that I didn't need to use it for very long.

Protein loaded pudding, however, I still use after a year and a half. For that, I started with two scoops of protein powder (chocolate for chocolate pudding, unflavored or vanilla for the other flavors of pudding) mixed into the two cups of milk used in the small boxes of SF instant pudding (or three scoops in three cups of milk for the larger box - you want to use the instant pudding instead of the cooked variety as the protein powder doesn't like the heat,) and that worked pretty good. Mix the protein powder into the milk well before adding the pudding mix.

To my taste, that had a bit too much "protein powder taste" to it, so I cut the milk and protein powder in half and added a cup of plain greek yogurt to the mix, and that eliminated any "protein taste" in exchange for some tartness from the yogurt - to my taste buds it's a pleasing compromise that I still use though I no longer need to load up on protein. I mixed the milk and protein powder together first, then mixed in the yogurt and then added the pudding mix.

Good luck and happy blending!
