Ingredients
- 145 g uncooked quinoa, any variety
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 43 g Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
- 35 g chocolate peanut butter protein powder*
- 15 g unsweetened cocoa powder
Finally! A chocolatey, macro-friendly dessert that is as delicious as it is nutritious. It may seem a little weird to use quinoa in a dessert, but trust me, the quinoa adds a lovely nutty flavor while providing the perfect pudding jiggle. Plus, it’s packed with vitamin B and complete proteins.

Jun 28, 2022Using quinoa for a chocolaty dessert reminds me of the black bean chocolate cake I had last weekend! I'll have to send in that recipe some time, huh?

Jun 23, 2022I love sweet treats. But more than that, I love exploring sweet treats that fit my macros! This quinoa chocolate pudding was superb. I have never thought of using quinoa in dessert before—I used Naked PB so I had to add a little sugar free vanilla pudding to heighten the sweetness.
