puddin pie

IMG_0911Blog

I believe “puddin’ pie” is one of those grandmotherly pies made of chocolate pudding and oreo crumbles that were so delicious on church supper buffet tables. All I can say is that it’s a phrase from my childhood always said in a deep Southern accent.

A little googling told me it’s also obscene. But I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that…

IMG_0918Blog

I declare this pumpkin breakfast to be much more like pudding than a smoothie. I whipped together kefir and pumpkin – about 2:1 ratio – and whirled it up in the Vita-mix blender. Or, rather than whirled, perhaps “fluffed” is a better word. Or emulsified. Either way, it was a fluffy bowl of smooth puddin’.

IMG_0916Blog

And as free of sugar as sugar-free chocolate puddin’ – just without the artificial sweeteners. And by that I mean – it was tart.  Topped with chia seeds, banana, puffed quinoa, maple pecans and Chia Charger peanut butter. Perfect texture combination!

Served with a mug of vanilla tea

Part of this complete breakfast!

    Ha. Before I even read what you wrote – I immediately thought of a friend who talks a “making pudding pie” and she is not talking about food. I wasn’t going to say anything but since you brought it up 😀

    My mom made homemade pudding all the time when I was a kid. A huge pot so she was at the stove for a good hour. We all loved it so much. Maybe that’s why I love oatmeal, I add egg whites to mine and it’s kind of reminiscent of pudding.

    Your ‘puddin pie’ looks delish! I have been meaning to try quinoa puffs in my breakfast concoction…think it would add a lovely crunch and nutritional boost! Do they have a toasty, nutty taste! I sometimes miss a nutty flavour in my life due to our nut allergies.

      Hmmm..more earthy than nutty, but perhaps a little?

    I tried kefir once and I found it a little too tart for my liking. But I’m sure mixed with pumpkin I would like it! Anything that can be described as “pudding” sounds good to me. 😀
