Protein-packed + Heart Health
This pudding recipe provides a whopping 36g of protein! Making it a great snack or dessert to have any time of the day! When you are training daily your muscles are constantly in a state of repair and growth. You may be able to feel that post-workout pain the day after a big session, but even when you can’t feel it, your muscles are working overtime to support your active lifestyle. When you consume enough protein in your diet you provide your body with the nutrients and fuel it needs to repair those muscles, help them grow and maintain their efficiency. The tofu in this recipe also contains calcium, which is mainly known for strengthening teeth and bones, but also helps our muscles and heart continue functioning at a healthy rate!
