This Chocolate Protein Pudding is decadent, rich, sweet and creamy―basically, it’s everything you want in a pudding. Which is pretty awesome considering it’s fewer than 140 calories and serves up 15 grams of protein.

So what’s the secret behind the creamy texture and low calorie count? Get ready to have your mind blown… it’s cauliflower! That’s right: As if cauliflower wasn’t already useful enough as a replacement for potatoes in mashed potatoes, for rice in stir-fries, and for pizza crusts in, well, pizza, now it’s got another use… as the foundation for decadent desserts like this Chocolate Protein Pudding.

To achieve the dreamy, creamy perfect pudding texture, you’ll start by steaming three cups of cauliflower until it’s very tender. Then you’ll blend the cauliflower, Chocolate Nutrisystem Shake Mix, cocoa powder, milk and a few other simple ingredients together. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for two to three hours and, once it’s ready, top it with fat-free whipped cream for a seemingly indulgent treat that won’t wreck your waistline!

And while you can dive in to this palate-pleasing pudding spoon-first without any regret, you’d be well advised to log this Chocolate Protein Pudding in our free app, NuMi.
