Reset Kitchen Notes
This pudding is one of those rare recipes that feels like a treat while quietly delivering meaningful nutrition. It’s an excellent option for recovery periods when calorie needs are elevated but appetite may be reduced.
For additional protein, add an extra scoop of collagen peptides or blend in a clean protein powder. For a deeper chocolate flavor, increase the cacao powder slightly. Leftovers store beautifully in the refrigerator for up to three days.
