How I Made a 74g Protein Vanilla CBD Pudding (And Why It’s My Go-To

When I first came across a viral 3-ingredient protein pudding recipe on social media, I was intrigued but skeptical. Scrambled eggs, protein powder, and almond milk—blended and chilled? It sounded like it could easily turn into a texture disaster.

But as someone who constantly looks for clean, high-protein recipes to fuel recovery and manage evening stress, I couldn’t resist trying it with my own twist. I decided to blend in a daily dose of unflavored CBD oil tincture to create the ultimate nighttime recovery snack.

The result? A rich, velvety, custard-like pudding packing 74 grams of protein. Here is how I made it, what I learned, and the full adjusted recipe.

How I Made a 74g Protein Vanilla CBD Pudding (And Why It’s My Go-To Post-Workout Treat)

My Honest First Impression & Chef’s Notes

The Texture Secret: The real magic here is scrambling the eggs first. When you blend cooked eggs with liquid and chill the mixture, the denatured egg proteins create a thick, dense, mousse-like consistency that raw ingredients simply cannot achieve.
The Taste: Don’t worry—it does not taste like breakfast! Using a high-quality vanilla protein powder completely masks any “eggy” flavor and provides all the sweetness needed without adding extra sugar.
Incorporating CBD: Adding an oil-based tincture to liquid can sometimes cause separation. However, high-speed blending emulsifies the CBD oil directly into the fats from the cooked egg yolks and the protein base, distributing it evenly.

Nutritional Breakdown & Quick Info

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 4 hours

Calories: ~550 kcal (varies slightly depending on CBD carrier oil)
Protein: 74g

Ingredients

4 Large Eggs
2 Scoops (approx. 60g) Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey, Casein, or Plant-based)
125g (about 1/2 cup) Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Serving Preferred CBD or Hemp Extract (1 full dropper / ~1 mL of unflavored or vanilla-flavored tincture)
Optional: A tiny dash of cooking spray or butter for the pan.

1.Scramble the Eggs: Do not overcook them into dry rubber.

Lightly coat a pan and scramble the 4 eggs over medium heat just until they are fully cooked but still soft. Remove them from the heat and let them cool for just a minute.

2.Add Ingredients to High-Speed Blender: Order matters for a smooth blend.

Pour the almond milk into the blender first. Add the warm scrambled eggs, followed by your 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder and your measured dose of CBD oil tincture. Adding liquids first prevents the powder from sticking to the blades.

3.Blend Until Silky Smooth:

Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds. You want to make sure the scrambled eggs are completely pureed and the mixture is totally smooth and fully emulsified.

4.Transfer & Chill:

Pour the liquid mixture into a glass bowl, jar, or airtight meal-prep container. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight). As it cools, the egg proteins will set it into a thick pudding.

5.Serve & Enjoy:

Once set, grab a spoon and enjoy straight from the fridge! Optional: top with a dash of cinnamon, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs.
