Protein Packed Chocolate Mocha Pudding

This is what I call a healthy indulgence. No need to feel bad about eating this healthier version of chocolate pudding.

I was close to doing a sugar free boxed version, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. Those “sugar free” foods usually have so many additives in them, it takes the whole purpose out of eating healthy in my opinion. So this is what I came up with. Chocolate pudding made with real cocoa powder, honey, low fat milk and some chocolate protein powder (you could leave this out of you’d like).

Also, I created my own version of whipped cream by using Ideal (also known as Xylitol). Feel free to use my version of whipped cream on top of your chocolate pudding or opt to leave it off. It’s up to you! Enjoy!!!
