No ratings yet

Ultra rich and creamy dessert filled with superfood benefits.

This homemade pudding recipe is a keeper! We make our banana and coconut cream pudding with honey instead of refined sugar. Coconut milk gives a distinctive flavor and is a good source of B vitamins, which help produce energy, and magnesium, which is great for your heart and nervous system. You’ll also get a nice dose of antioxidants from this pudding. Amazing texture and flavor aren’t the only things pudding can offer you!
