Super Moist High Protein Lemon Puddings

Super moist high protein lemon pudding

Why this is peri-perfect… Light, tangy, and secretly high in protein, this lemon pudding feels like a treat while giving your body exactly what it needs in perimenopause - steady energy, blood sugar balance, and a calm, satisfied belly. The olive oil adds extra moistness while supporting hormone health, making this the kind of breakfast (or dessert-for-dinner) you’ll look forward to.

Ingredients: 4 ramekins

4 large eggs, separated

350g low-fat Greek yogurt (plus 4 Tbsp extra for topping)

150ml milk of choice (unsweetened almond or dairy)

70g vanilla whey protein powder (~2 scoops)

60g wholemeal self-raising flour (~½ cup)

40g monk fruit sugar (or to taste)

Zest & juice of 2½ lemons

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Pinch salt

Instructions:

1.     Preheat oven to 170°C (fan 160°C). Lightly grease 4 ramekins.

2.     In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, yogurt (reserve 4 Tbsp for topping), milk, olive oil, lemon zest & juice, protein powder, flour, monk fruit sugar, and salt until smooth.

3.     In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

4.     Gently fold the whites into the lemon mixture, keeping as much air as possible.

5.     Divide into ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking tray and pour in hot water halfway up the sides (bain-marie style).

6.     Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden on top but still with a soft, custardy centre.

7.     Serve warm with 1 Tbsp Greek yogurt on top and a little extra lemon zest. 🍋
