  • 6 packets SweetLeaf stevia

How to Prepare Nearly Fat-Free Chocolate Pudding [Vegan]

  1. Prepare the Japanese sweet potatoes by washing them and steaming them for 30-35 minutes.  Once steamed and cooled, peel the skin off of the sweet potatoes.
  2. Place the zucchini, almond milk, vanilla, and stevia in your high speed blender.  I do not believe a standard blender will yield the same silky-smooth results, so definitely aim to use a high speed blender.
  3.  Blend on high until completely smooth using the center agitator as necessary (will take approximately 2 minutes).
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, add the cocoa, protein blend, and steamed and peeled Japanese sweet potato.
  5. Blend the mixture on high for another 2 minutes.  The mixture will be thick, so be sure you use the center agitator to help the blender blend the ingredients well.

Notes

I know it is hard to wait, but trust me when I say that this pudding is even better cold. Try to restrain yourself from eating it at this point (you can lick the blender afterward) and pour the pudding into a glass container and refrigerate until cool, then serve. It is very important to use alcohol-free vanilla. Standard vanilla tastes bitter unless it is cooked. If you avoid protein powder, you can eliminate it and use a total of ¾ cups cocoa.

  1. I have two questions.
    First can I use regular sweet potatoes because I have never seen a Japanese one in the stores or market places by me?
    If I use a sweetener other then stevia like maple syrup or raw sugar do I use the same amount as? I really cannot stand the taste of stevia.
