³ Description

A Rich Chocolate spin on Rice Pudding with a hint of Coconut!

² Ingredients

•  1/4 cup (8 fl oz) Water
•  1 serving (serving = 1 tbsp) Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocoa
•  3/4 serving (serving = 1 cup) Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Milk
•  0.4 serving (serving = 1/3 cup) Thai Kitchen Light Coconut Milk
•  1 serving (serving = 1/3 cup) Now Foods Whey Protein Isolate Unflavored
•  1/2 serving (serving = 1 tsp) McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 cup dry) Nature's Earthly Choice Organic Quinoa
•  1/3 serving (serving = 3 tbsp) Let's Do Organic Unsweetened Organic Coconut Flakes

q Directions

In a saucepan, Add:

3/4 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1/4 Cup Water

1/4 Cup Quinoa

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 TB Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 TB Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

1 Teaspoon of Coconut Sugar (or your sweetener of choice)

Bring to a Boil, Turn Flame to Low and Cover

Simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until Quinoa softens and sauce is fairly thick

Remove from Heat

After Pudding has Cooled (I put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes), Add 2 TB Coconut Cream (A Can of Coconut Milk in the frig will separate and form a cream on top after it’s been chilled) and 1 Scoop Whey Protein Powder (I used "Now" Unflavored).

Enjoy!

-Optional: If you want more (less rich) Chocolate, add in a TB of Semi-Sweet Chips
