Chocolate Protein Pudding
I love pudding, but don’t want the dairy that is in it. So, I tried making my own. I probably could have just googled non-dairy pudding to find a recipe, but I wanted my pudding to be high in protein and have plenty of fiber.
Plus, I didn’t want it to have dates, which seem to be in every vegan dessert recipe that I find. Or a lot of vegan recipes call for soaking cashews in water for a few hours and then overheating my food processor to get them to be creamy. Neither option sounded like fun.
So, I grabbed my handy helper (Xander), and we tested out a made up recipe, that just so happened to turn out delicious. After a few tweaks. It only took a few minutes to whip up, which is a big bonus. I kept the extras in the refrigerator for only a day, because between the two of us it didn’t last long being so yummy and healthy! But, I’m sure it would last five to seven days in the refrigerator. Try it out!
