    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.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
