Indulge in low carb peanut butter chocolate pudding!
You are going to go crazy for this incredible peanut butter chocolate pudding recipe! Not only is absolutely delicious with its combination of natural peanut butter and chia seeds, but it's also a breeze to whip together. All it takes is about five minutes of your time and you don't even have to cook it! This is the perfect dessert you can throw together at the drop of a hat.
First, let's talk about the benefits of using natural peanut butter. Natural peanut butter has no added sugar or unnecessary trans-fatty acids that your body doesn't need. It's flavorful and has more nutrients than processed peanut butter. This is definitely a win!
When it comes to a good pudding, it's all about the texture. This particular recipe is a little different because it uses chia seeds. Chia seeds can be added to a variety of foods and are known for their nutty flavor and additional nutrients. Your body will thank you for this little (not so secret) ingredient. Plus, the little seeds add a little bit of complexity to an otherwise simple dish.
Let's not forget where the sweetness comes from in the yummy dessert! As you are probably aware, keto diets avoid carbs and sugar. However, you can still indulge in a sweet treat from time to time. You'll notice that this recipe is made with monk fruit extract. For those that are unaware, monk fruit is a fruit that comes from China and Thailand is 200-300 times sweeter than regular sugar! A really cool benefit of monk fruit is that it is comprised of antioxidants that help ward off inflammation and other health issues. Not to mention, monk fruit has zero calories!
Peanut butter chocolate pudding is the perfect treat for those that are following a low carb diet or anybody interested in watching their sugar intake. The peanut butter and chocolate flavor combination is definitely a crowd-pleaser. You'll definitely want to try this delicious dessert ASAP!
