Low calorie Homemade Chocolate Protien Pudding

 Low calorie Homemade Chocolate Protien Pudding

So today I made a really healthy chocolate pudding. And you will love this recipe as the secret ingredient is hidden and cannot be tasted. The only good taste you get is of chocolate along with the crunch of nuts. It is a vegetarian recipe with no eggs. 

In this recipe I am using Nuturamore Protein Powder. It has 40% Protein,  considering the different nutritional needs of women and children of all ages. It is fortified with Shatavari, Haridra, Calcium, Iron & Folic Acid, Biotin & Omega 3 DHA.

I took the liberty to mix this protein powder in my new recipe today. You can even try mixing it in biscuits wheat flour, milk, juice, cake batter etc. So let's  check out the ingredients and method by using Naturamore protein powder. And it turned out so delicious😋

Will make 4 small size bowls.

Ingredients

2 cups cauliflower florets, 

½ cup fat-free milk

4 tbsp chocolate cookie whey protein powder 

½ tsp  vanilla extract

Honey to sweeten

Handful of pumpkin and Sunflower seeds

Fresh fruit of your choice 

Method 

1. Steam cauliflower in a steamer or in the microwave until it gets tender.

2. Now drain well and keep aside to use later in recipe. 

3. Add all the ingredients to a blender and puree until it gets smooth in texture. 

4. Divide the puree into 4 bowls. 

5. Garnish with pumpkin seeds, walnuts and fruit of your choice (pomegranate, banana, figs, mango etc) 

6. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours and serve chilled. 

This makes a great breakfast bowl option. It can be combined with Muesli and chia seeds too. 

Dark Chocolate Energy Bites Recipe

 

These Dark Chocolate Energy Bites were delicious in every bite. I made a couple of these last week and stored them away in my refrigerator. It was a healthy option to dessert cravings  after meals ~ these bites are made with a combination of rich dark chocolate and regular milk chocolate topped with fruits and seeds.
I did not add nuts as I was doing another recipe with nuts that day but surely you can top it with almonds and walnuts to make it more healthier. They were extremely delicious and fulfilling to taste.

I used morde cooking chocolate and Cadburys Milk chocolate for this recipe in 2:1 proportion. You can use the chocolates available to you. As I did not have chocolate moulds so I used small sized plastic lids of disposable boxes. The size of Monaco or Marie Biscuits. But if have the choco moulds that would be perfect. 

This recipe made roughly 20 to 22 pieces of dark chocolate energy bites. 

Ingredients

200 gms Dark Chocolate (Morde)
100 gms Milk Chocolate  (Cadbury's)
1 tsp Flax Seeds
1tsp Pumpkin seeds
1 tsp Sunflower seeds
1 tsp tutti  frutti

Method

1. Roughly break the dark and milk chocolates into small pieces and put it in a microwave safe bowl.

2. Now place it in the microwave  for 30 seconds. Remove and stir with spatula, place it again for 20 minutes.  This will ensure the chocolate will not burn. If it doesn't melt then ace again for 10 seconds.

3. Mix the melted chocolate well together.

4. Now fill the round moulds with the melted chocolate. Lightly tap it on the surface  that it spreads evenly.

5. Sprinkle the three types of seeds and tutti frutti on the soft chocolate so that its sets well. Do it quickly  before the chocolate  hardens again.

6. Further pop the chocolate in the refrigerator chiller for an hour to harden.

7. Now take the chocolates out and unmould them slowly without  breaking the bites.

8. Store the dark chocolate energy bites in a container and savour whenever you wish. 

Note

You can use the  double boiling method and melt the chocolate on the gas. You have to place water in a vessel and then take the chocolate pieces in another vessel and place it over the water vessel. Keep stirring it on slow flame till the chocolate melts .
