Dorm Room Edition: Dessert Round Up with Chocolate Cashew Butter Protein Pudding [Clean, Vegan, GF, Low Carb]
Are you looking for something sweet to eat and want it now? Try this really quick and thick chocolate cashew butter protein pudding. It’s packed with fiber, protein and healthy fat so it’s going to stick with you and keep you satisfied! Only 3-4 ingredients and a blender are needed 🙂Â
Finally, we are getting to the wrap up of the Dorm Room edition Round Up series of posts! They’ve gotten you through this semester (hopefully!) with a few weeks to spare to repeat your favorites. Didn’t get a chance to see them? Click on the links to go to the other Round Up Series before getting to the awesome dessert treats below.
Now let’s get to those recipes! Some of them need a food processor, or blender, but others do not! Take a look at all of them and try them out to see what works for you! The first here needs a blender, but it’s really easy to make and can be used as a snack, or even breakfast! It’s tastes too good to be true.
Or, perhaps cheesecake is more your thing! These cheesecakes have a secret ingredient, are packed with protein and contain no cream cheese, no added sugar (these are low in carbs) and only need a food processor (a blender could work). Even better? They only take a matter of minutes to make (but you’ll have to wait about half hour for them to freeze). I’ve made a lot of these over the course of the blog history and have shared with you. Click on any of the gallery link pictures to be taken to the original recipe! The original one has a step by step photo guide to show you the process.
Still have your food processor out? You can try out these super easy 2 ingredient raw, clean and vegan truffles from Rabbit Food Runner. She even gives a few options for coatings so you can change up the flavors!
If you like truffles, why not try out any of these freezer fudge recipes I have on the blog. Granted you need a freezer, but you don’t need any other equipment! They can be made in a matter of minutes, are guilt free and pack a nice protein punch. Click on the pictures to be taken to the recipe.
Don’t have a freezer, but still want a healthy treat, or snack? You can try out this apple dessert spaghetti recipe then. It’s ok if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can either just slice and dice you apple instead.
Finally, here is another deliciously chocoately recipe from one of my fellow Recipe Redux bloggers. These homemade crunch cups need only 3 ingredients to work (and a microwave)! Try the puffed brown rice option to make it clean and have more fiber. This recipe is shared by Family Food on the Table.
Now, here is the recipe for the feature. I used homemade, oil free, no sugar added cashew butter (here is my recipe link here). I like to make recipes like this when I have just made it and still have some left in my blender. This is not necessary though and you can just blend all the ingredients together! I like it nice and thick. Don’t want it so thick? Adjust your psyllium husk down and use more liquid.
Dorm Room Edition: Dessert Round Up with Chocolate Cashew Butter Protein Pudding [Clean, Vegan, GF, Low Carb]
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1/2-1 T psyllium husk powder
- 1 T cashew butter (or whatever you have left in the blender)

If you already have cashew butter in your blender, great! Leave it there. If not coat the bottom of your blender with water first.

Then, add all the ingredients and blend. It will be thick. Add more water to desired consistency.

Scrape into a bowl. Top with more cashews if desired.

You can chill in the fridge, or eat right then. Your choice. Enjoy!

Sounds amazing and the texture on that blueberry maca ice cream is perfection!
It’s so good. Just like soft serve!
Great round-up, thanks for including my truffles!
Thanks for contributing them!
I have so, so, sooo much protein powder that I’ve been wanting to use up–this looks like a great way to start! :]
Sounds like a great problem to have lol. I love protein powder!
These all look so good! I had a sort of chocolate cream cheese when I was in college and we all loved it. I haven’t ever seen it in the stores since!
ooh that sounds good! I’ve never seen chocolate cream cheese!
Great recipes…perfect for the holidays
