    Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding

    VEGAN, Decadent, dreamy and rich 'Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding'. A dairy free healthy pudding dessert recipe that satisfies those chocolate cravings! Recipe from Shannon at The Glowing Fridge.

     

    I feel like I should be posting some sort of pumpkin/fall-ish recipe…

    But I haven’t been wanting pumpkin.. I’ve been wanting chocolate! Ya know what I mean?! I can only take so much pumpkin before I’m like.. please gimme the chocolate nowww, I neeeed the chocolate.

    It’s a serious addiction. 

    Trust me, you want to make this vegan Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding. I mean, it’s healthy enough that you can eat it for breakfast or dessert. The vegan pudding craze (yes it is a craze) usually includes avocado in the recipe to get the creamy texture. But I tried that and… nah… I’m not really a fan of avocado in my pudding. So I went for my trusty fruit friend instead.. Bananas!!

    This whole idea for Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding came about after I posted a yummy picture (shown below) of Chunky Monkey Cereal on instagram. People went cuckoo for it. So I had to recreate the theme somehow. Must be something about that cHuNkY mOnKeY?! You can follow my instagram for my daily eats.

    Chunky Monkey Cereal: rolled oats, granola, chopped bananas, pecans/walnut pieces, mini choco chips and a spoonful of sunflower seed butter

    Looks yummy right? Pour a little almond milk over the cereal and that is breakfast heaven right there.

     

    VEGAN, Decadent, dreamy and rich 'Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding'. A dairy free healthy pudding dessert recipe that satisfies those chocolate cravings! Recipe from Shannon at The Glowing Fridge.

    For today’s chocolate pudding, I’m keepin’ it simple as usual. I felt like using a hand mixer. I’m not sure why. Sometimes I get sick of washing my blender 12 times a day.. not really but you know what I mean. Plus a hand mixer gives the pudding that “whipped” texture. Simply blend all your ingredients with your hand mixer (watch out for flying cacao powder) and then fold in your mini dairy-free chocolate chips. (Bonus: I even added superfood maca powder for some “caramel” flavor and superfood benefits). Open a can of full-fat coconut milk that’s been in the refrigerator overnight and scoop out the “coconut cream” into a small bowl (aka the top part that has separated from the milk). Grab a handful of walnuts and more chocolate chips if you are a chocoholic like me and layer your pudding like a delish looking creation. Pudding + coconut cream + walnuts + choco chips and repeat until it’s gone. Makes 2 large servings or 4 small.

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming!

    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
