Vegan Chocolate Pudding Recipe

I love chocolate (carob)  I love pudding and I love making it Vegan where possible! This is a super simple recipe and fanastic for those who don’t like a vegan pudding based on avocado, nuts or tofu. The base of this recipe is… MILLET! Millet is fantastic if you suffer from a Gluten Intolerance however, it contains goitrogens. Goitrogens are a substance found in food that suppresses thyroid activity and can lead to goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid. Hypothyroidism is a serious condition that can result in numerous issues so it’s always best to see if this grain is suitable for you.

You can garnish with some fresh berries or even some grated vegan chocolate. The choice is yours! I found that the texture of this isn’t as smooth as using avocado or nuts however, it’s a great alternative. Just make sure the millet is really well cooked!
