    Chunky Monkey Chocolate Pudding

    Oct 15, 2014 • Chocolate, Luteal Phase, Menstrual Phase, Sweets

    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.

    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.

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

    A DREAM ☁️☁️ You guys. This is a dream co A DREAM ☁️☁️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
