Soy Pudding

Serves 2

This is a great way to have a delicious treat while staying alkaline. You can eat this for breakfast sometimes, and use it in place of one of the soups on a cleanse. It is high in good fats, vitamin E, calcium, and potassium thanks to the almonds and avocados, and high in good proteins from the soy powder.

  • 1 cup Fresh Silky Almond Milk (see Juices, Shakes, and Milks)
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lime
  • 2 scoops soy powder
  • 1/2 tsp raw green stevia
  • 6-8 ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high until the mixture is rich, smooth, and pudding like.

Variations:

Add 2 Tbs nonsweetened dried coconut to the pudding while blending, and sprinkle some more over the top before serving.

Use lemon instead of lime.

Replace the lime with the juice from 1/2 grapefruit.

Add 1/2 scoop green powder or 1 cup fresh baby spinach.

Add a 1/2-1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated, and 1 or 2 peeled whole limes.

Add 2 heaping Tbs. raw powdered carob and a capful of Frontier liquid mint seasoning.

Add a capful of Frotier liquid cinnamon flavoring and sprinkle nutmeg on top.

Sprinkle the pudding with chopped raw almonds or any desired nut (pecan, macadamia, and so on).
