The holidays are the time to indulge. But that indulgence doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health. That’s why we’re excited to share the newest flavor addition to the Biochem Family - Chocolate Peppermint Whey Protein Isolate! This nutrient-rich and seasonal flavor is made from high-quality ingredients that will help you pack in enough healthy protein for peak holiday energy.
For those new to Biochem, we have over 20 years of experience creating award winning & innovative protein and sports supplements that help people live, work and play at their best, every day. Our Chocolate Peppermint Whey Protein Isolate is packed with 20g of easily digestible whey protein, and sweetened with a high quality Reb-A derived from Stevia Leaf Extract (read: it’s sugar-free and only 90 calories per serving!).
So in the spirit of healthy indulgence, we teamed up with Meg Galus, the Executive Pastry Chef at the renowned BOKA Restaurant Group to create a delicious, guilt-free Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pudding that you can enjoy all season long.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/3 cups oat milk (can sub soy, nut, plant, or dairy milk – I don’t recommend coconut because of strong flavor)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1T honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar
- 1⁄4 cup organic coconut sugar
- 4 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup + 1T Biochem Chocolate Peppermint Protein Powder
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1⁄4 cup blended silken tofu or Greek yogurt
To garnish:
- Greek yogurt
- Dark chocolate or unsweetened chocolate shavings
- Cocoa nibs
- Sprinkles
Method:
- Combine the oat milk, vanilla, and honey.
- Add a small amount of the milk to the cornstarch to make a slurry – set aside
- Whisk together the coconut sugar starch, salt, and cocoa powder
- Add the above dry ingredients into the milk, whisking to combine
- Heat until steaming
- Add the cornstarch/milk slurry
- Bring the mixture to a boil and, whisking constantly, keep at a boil for 3-5 minutes, until thickened
- Remove from heat
- Whisk in the protein powder and tofu or Greek yogurt (*if using the tofu, blend in a food processor or blender until smooth before adding)
- Pour into a shallow baking dish and cover with plastic wrap touching the surface
- Put in the fridge for several hours or overnight to chill completely
To serve:
- Portion into individual dishes (To make extra smooth, whisk gently before portioning into serving bowls)
- Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt
- Add dark chocolate shavings, cocoa nibs, and sprinkles
- Serve & enjoy!
