Coconut Lime Pudding- Vegan, Grain-Free & Refined Sugar-Free

Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all about. That’s what my dad used to sing when I was a baby and wrapped in a towel after a bath. I don’t know where it came from, but I’m sure my baby self enjoyed the comforting experience.

Now that I’m an adult, and no longer require a song and dance to bath without crying, I’m obsessed with the flavour combination of coconut and lime.

I’m also obsessed with pudding. So obsessed that I frequently eat it for breakfast:

Looks like dessert, right? That’s the beauty, it could be! It’s sweet and creamy enough to be served as a dessert, yet healthy and nutrient dense enough to be a breakfast. And don’t forget about the delicate combination of coconut and lime that will bring you back to those warm summer days that have since passed…
