Vegan Rice Pudding

This rice pudding will bring you nostalgic happiness but was whipped up with a little sprucing in mind!

Don’t we love a nostalgic recipe? This recipe is one of those for me. It was one of my dad’s favorite desserts and still to this day, when I think of him, I think of it. Isn’t it funny how memories work like that?

I decided I wanted to give rice pudding a go but I wanted to make it vegan and with a little sprucing up. You’ll find a few new goodies and unique spices that aren’t usually found in a classic rice pudding recipe. I also added a little bit of pea protein to make this a more rounded breakfast/snack/dessert or whatever you’d like to call it. Nuzest is my absolute favorite pea protein as it’s made with the most minimal ingredients and it doesn’t make me bloated.

Was that tmi? I figure we are all friends here so it doesn’t really matter. Plus, bloat is normal peeps. Especially with women!

So – back to the protein- you can omit or try using your preferred brand but since my heart belongs to Nuzest, that’s the one I used. If you choose to omit, this recipe still has plenty of protein from the cashew butter.

Georgia Grinders has the best cashew butter, hands down. I use their nut butters religiously for multiple reasons like they taste freaking amazing but also because they don’t contain added ingredients like sugar. Why the heck is it so hard to find sugar-less nut butters? Now, if it’s not a concern to you – go ahead and buy the $4.99 from Walmart. It actually tastes delish! But if you do care, Georgia Grinders is the way to go!

As always, I only recommend products I would fully stand behind. Since Nuzest is one of them – I have a code to share with you, my friends. THEKELLYKATHLEEN will save you 15% at checkout.
