Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender except for the milk and toppings.
- Add the almond milk gradually to ensure you get the right consistency! The texture should be like pudding.
- Pulse until smooth. It should have a fairly thick consistency, like Greek yogurt.
- Pour into two bowls and decorate with the toppings of your choice.
- Enjoy as a healthy dessert or for breakfast.
