Protein fanatics, aka gym lovers, are always on the lookout for creative and tasty ways to boost their protein intake. While chicken and rice, protein powder shakes, and meat-based dishes are often the go-to, there’s a new trendy dish in Internet town: one that blends hard-boiled eggs into a pudding. It does sound a tad bit unappetising, but as the saying goes, “don’t knock it till you try it.”
The idea behind this unusual pudding is to create a high-protein, low-carb snack or dessert that is both convenient and satisfying. It’s also a good grain-free, gluten-free and dairy-free for people with dietary restrictions.
Hard-boiled eggs are easy to make and store in the fridge, and they have a decent amount of protein, and essential amino acids that can help with muscle building and recovery. Judging by how quickly this dessert has become viral online, we are anticipating the flavor to be pleasant, especially if the hard-boiled eggs are blended to silky smoothness in a high speed blender, and flavored adequately with good-quality chocolate. You can also choose to flavor the pudding with other elements.
Even if you’re not a gym freak, including adequate protein in your daily diet is essential for your overall health. This viral macronutrient helps the body to function adequately by maintaining muscle quality, growth and repair of tissues, and immune function. Protein is also important for hormonal balance, helping regulate bodily functions like growth, mood, and metabolism. Moreover, protein also helps with satiety, the feeling of fullness, which can be helpful if you’re trying to manage weight. High-protein foods take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates, so you will feel fuller for longer. Whether you’re young or old, protein is very important. So, we would recommend trying out this bizarre chocolate dessert recipe and deciding for yourself whether it’s a hit or a flop! Read on to know more.
Recipe for Viral Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients:
3 hard boiled eggs
2-3 scoops of your preferred protein powder
400 ml full fat coconut milk or any other milk of your choice
30 g high quality cocoa or cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sweetener of your choice (you can use stevia, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
Instructions:
- Boil your eggs for 12 minutes so that the yolk is completely cooked and solid. Transfer the cooked eggs into an ice bath (bowl of water filled with ice) and then peel them. You can also peel them under running water to ensure there are no remnants of the shell.
- Once done, set the eggs aside to cool down completely.
- After the eggs have cooled down, add them to a high-speed blender and whiz them along with the rest of the ingredients. Make sure to blend well so everything is smooth and there are no chunky bits of eggs leftover.
- You can adjust the quantity of the sweetener depending on your taste.
- Transfer the pudding into individual portions or into a large dish, then refrigerate. Refrigerating should eliminate the eggy smell.
- Garnish with some chocolate shavings if you like.
- Enjoy the pudding, and decide for yourself whether it can be tried again!
You can also use scrambled eggs instead of hard boiled eggs, because they have a softer and silkier texture.
Besides flavoring the pudding with chocolate, you can also use peanut butter or any nut butter. Most nut butters are rich in good fats and protein, so you’re adding more of this macronutrient to your pudding.
You can also substitute protein powder with collagen powder or any other supplement if you want.
