Chocolate Orange Pudding

Every Monday, I prepare the week’s gluten-free, dairy-free meal plan for our glorious group of meal planning ninjas. They’re not actually ninjas, but after a couple of weeks on the meal plans, many have reported feeling like they could become a ninja, if the opportunity arose.

I am guessing it has something to do with all of the extra energy coursing through their bodies when they get on a solid meal plan that just… works for their lives and their bodies (hurray!)

A lot of the meal plan subscribers (aka ninjas *wink*) have told me that the chocolate pudding recipe that I shared with them a couple of months ago was an absolute treat. Originally, it was made with a dairy-free mixture of full-fat coconut milk and non-dairy yogurt, but when it came time to create a new round of recipes for my friends at Happy Days Goat Dairy, I decided to take a twist on your favorite dairy-free pudding and make it with goat yogurt instead.

Chocolate Orange Pudding

The result was pure bliss.

It is chia pudding, but the pudding is blended so that there are no visible chia seeds. The chia acts like gelatin – making the pudding firm and very pudding-like, and is guaranteed to entice even the most opinionated chia pudding skeptic.

Can’t handle regular dairy? Using goat milk helps with the digestibility of this dessert.

Can’t do goat dairy? No worries, just replace the yogurt with your favorite non-dairy yogurt. Easy.

I would love to know — if you had all the time in the world and your eating style (meals, snacks, everything), 100% worked for you all the time… what would your life be like?

Are you living it right now?
