Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 150°C and place a small baking dish inside that can hold two ramekins; put a kettle of water on to boil for a water bath.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs gently until just combined, then whisk in the greek yogurt until smooth with no visible lumps.

  3. 3

    Add the milk, protein powder, maple syrup if using, vanilla extract and salt, whisking slowly until the mixture is silky and the protein powder is fully dissolved; avoid whipping in lots of air.

  4. 4

    Strain the custard mixture through a fine sieve into a jug to remove any bits, then divide evenly between two small oven-safe ramekins.

  5. 5

    Place the ramekins in the preheated baking dish and carefully pour hot (not boiling) water into the dish so it comes about halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a gentle water bath.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15–20 minutes until the edges are set but the centres still have a slight wobble; remove the ramekins from the water and let them cool to warm or room temperature.

  7. 7

    Serve warm or chilled; if your appetite is very low, start with a few small spoonfuls, or thin with a splash of extra milk and stir to a drinkable consistency.

GLP-1 Tips

  • If your appetite is very low, keep the portion tiny and focus on slow, mindful bites—the smooth texture and mild vanilla scent are designed to be non-triggering while still delivering over 20 g of protein per serving.
  • Eat this custard slightly chilled or at room temperature, as extreme temperatures and strong food smells can worsen nausea and make low appetite feel more pronounced on GLP-1 medications.

Storage

Cover each ramekin tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days; eat cold or gently warm in a water bath or at low microwave power, stirring halfway, and discard if separation or an off smell develops.
