Easy Mocha Pudding
Okay, here it goes. I'm thinking I'm going to modify this a bit since I'm not a coffee person - and neither are my kids. So with omitting the instant coffee (even though surprisingly I have some), let's see how this tastes.
1 container of plain Greek yogurt
2 spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 spoonful of instant coffee (omitting)
sweetener to taste
a few drops of vanilla extract
Stir everything together and enjoy!
Right off the bat, simple ingredients, but mixing cocoa powder with greek yogurt is not an easy task in a small bowl. Cocoa powder flying everywhere!!!
Secondly, the initial mix came out pretty bitter. Was a no go for all three kids. Added some turbinado sugar, but in trying to keep it paleo, changed it to a teaspoon of maple syrup. The older two still don't like it, but the little one is begging me for more!
Final verdict: 3 out of 5 stars. Easy to make. Gritty texture. Too bitter/sour without lots of sweetener - defeating the purpose of a healthy snack.
Suggestions for next time: Maybe going to add a mashed banana to the mix.
