Raise your hand if you need to up level your protein powder game! I’m a huge fan of making recipes that use protein powder to make pudding. In fact, I RARELY drink protein shakes. I usually like adding protein to baked goods, ice cream, cookies, and even cake! There is so many ways to include protein powder in your day.

So, recently, when I was literally pouring over the new flavor extracts I found in the baking aisle at Walmart, the orange extract caught my eye. I knew I wanted to use it in a recipe. Then, next I saw the sugar free Jello mixes, and decided the sugar free orange jello also needed to come home with me!
.
The more I find flavoring alternatives, the more I realize vanilla protein powder can become anything!

So, today I used orange extract, orange sugar free orange jello mix and sugar free vanilla pudding mix for flavoring regular vanilla protein powder. It was A-maze-ing.

Ingredients for Orange Creamsicle Protein Pudding

For the final ingredients to get that rich orange and creamy flavor, I used:

• Vanilla protein powder. When I need vanilla, I use the Optimum Whey and get it at Costco (here’s a list of my favorite protein powders here)
• Almond milk, because it’s only 30 calories per cup!
• Xantham gum, to get the thickness of pudding.
• The orange flavored sugar free jello mix. This flavor is STRONG! It’s perfect to get an orange treat without the calories or sugar.
• Sugar free vanilla pudding mix. I also did a few batches without this, but using the pudding mix helped the pudding to be creamier. Without it, I felt like it had more of the consistency of a Jello salad (which I also like, but it’s not what I was going for).
• and then the orange extract! It might have not needed this with the Jello mix, but the more orange flavor the better!

And that’s it. With a few simple ingredients, it tastes like orange creamsicle! Can you imagine the other flavor possibilities?
