There’s a lot to love about this simple yet satisfying dessert. Chocolate-lovers can get their fix without filling up on refined sugar, and also get the added benefits of fruit, protein and healthy fats. EDENSOY carob and vanilla soymilk and blended organic almonds lend themselves as a base, making for a thick and silky texture without any added fillers that often come with conventional pudding mixes. As a snack or dessert, this pudding makes a sweet and nourishing treat.
