Healthier Pudding Recipe

You’ll need (for the basic chocolate flavor):

19 ounces of Tofu – You can use pretty much any kind, but I found that soft or firm has the best consistency; and I’m partial to the Trader’s Joes brand.

2 Tbsp raw cacao powder – Navitas Naturals is a great one. The quality and flavor is excellent.

3-4 Tbsp agave syrup – I use Xagave organic white and blue raw agave nectar with fiber and calcium; made by betterbody foods

1-2 Tbsp coconut milk, you can also use almond milk

1/4 tsp salt

Simply blend all these ingredients together and chill until ready to serve! Or, experiment by adding other ingredients like fruits, extracts or whatever your imagination craves!

I experimented with several variations and the kids and I found that adding 1 tablespoon of PB2 and half a banana was by far the best. We dipped our PB Thins into the pudding and it was delicious! If you’re not familiar with PB2, prepare yourself for the best thing since… I don’t even know… everything and anything awesome! (“Sliced bread” just doesn’t seem to give the awesomeness of this stuff justice.)
