Method

  1. Combine Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wholemeal bulgur wheat with the fat-free Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla bean paste until thoroughly incorporated.

  2. Fortify Protein: Fold the unflavoured whey protein isolate into the mixture, ensuring no clumps remain, then stir in the fresh orange zest to brighten the flavour profile.

  3. Chill Pudding: Transfer the mixture into individual serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bulgur to absorb the flavours and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.

  4. Garnish: Prior to serving, scatter the toasted flaked almonds over the top of each pudding to provide a necessary textural contrast.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: The high fibre content of wholemeal bulgur combined with slow-digesting casein-rich Greek yogurt provides sustained satiety that effectively mutes food noise on GLP-1 journeys. Culinary Hack: If you are short on time, use warm cooked bulgur and serve immediately as a breakfast porridge, topping with a squeeze of fresh orange juice to lift the sweetness.
