If your like me you are probably tired of shake after shake everyday in order to get your desired protein intake. While in GNC this past Friday I noticed "Protein Pudding" in a can. The cans were selling at about $ 3.00 a piece. I thought that was outrageous for pudding protein or no protein. So I decided to look up some recipes and try to make this on my own.
To my surprise it was extremely simple! I used sugar free fat free chocolate Jello pudding mix. I followed the instructions on the box using Almond milk instead and added 2 scoops of protein powder (chocolate). I read that Casein works best for making pudding but I used UMP which has some casein in it. My pudding came out a little thick but really good. You can add more milk if you want a smoother consistency. Enjoy (=!
Ingredients:
1 - 15 oz can of Chickpeas
4 - Tbsp. of natural peanut or almond butter
3 - Tbsp agave nectar or stevia
1 - Tsp. vanilla extract
1 - Cup Dark chocolate chips or Carob chips if you are vegan
- Pre-heat your oven to 350'
- Mix all but chocolate chips into your food processor
- In a large bowl stir in the mixture from you food processor and 1 cup of chocolate chips
- Spoon out cookie dough onto a flat sheet pan with parchment paper ( the dough is very sticky I
used a ice-cream scooper to scoop mine out) - Place into oven and bake for 30 minutes
- enjoy when warm (=
