Cashew, Coconut & Chocolate Oat Pudding with FUTURELIFE®

If you’re into chocolate pudding and overnight oats, this one might just be for you.

Coconut, Cashew & Chocolate Oat Pudding is a delicious combination of cashews, sticky dates, coconut and chocolate FUTURELIFE® Smart Oats® and Ancient Grains.

As mentioned in my post for Banana & Chocolate Oat Bars, I really love my oats. I’m also always striving to add different types of grains to my diet, so FUTURELIFE® Smart Oats® and Ancient Grains is the ideal combination of 5 whole grains which includes oats, maize, rice, sorghum and quinoa.

It’s the perfect blend that provides a great amount of fibre and protein and contains 38% less sugar than the previously known FUTURELIFE® Smart Oats®, so when making something like this Cashew, Coconut & Chocolate Oat Pudding you know it’s better for you than the regular stuff.

Cashew, Coconut & Chocolate Oat Pudding with FUTURELIFE® Smart Oats® and Ancient Grains

I made this using Chocolate FUTURELIFE® Smart Oats® and Ancient Grains, but you can also use any of the other flavours (Honey, Mixed Berries or Original) and just add a tablespoon of cocoa. You can also top with nut butter, sliced bananas and toasted nuts if you want yours to be a little more bougie. Make ahead of time and serve warm or cold, depending on how you like your pud. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raw cashews 
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes 
• 3 medjool dates
