Ingredients

Banana: Used as a natural sweetener. If 1 banana isn’t enough, add more or add dates or maple syrup as well.
Almond milk: Or hazelnut milk is strongly recommended. But any nut milk, oat milk, soy milk, or dairy milk will work. Keep in mind that coconut milk makes the pudding richer and you might not be able to eat it that much. You can also substitute with water.
Peanut butter: Can be left out or substituted with hazelnut butter or any other nut butter.
Cacao powder: It’s an excellent source of antioxidants.
Chia seeds: To make it creamier.
Raspberries: Or blueberries. Can be left out but it tastes amazingly good with some berries or fresh fruit.
Shredded coconut: Or coconut flakes or can be left out but it’s not recommended if you love Bounty.
