Been to Trader Joe’s recently? No? Well, you should! You want to know why? Also no? Well, I’m going to tell you anyway! Frooze Balls just launched two new flavors there!
Their peanut butter and jelly flavor inspired this nostalgic vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Seed Pudding Recipe. If you’re interested in seeing what I did with their chocolate hazelnut flavor, check it out here.
These chia seed puddings are like a healthier version of your favorite childhood sandwich in an adorable jar. They’re filled with plant based protein sources from the peanuts, chia seeds, and silken tofu. This, combined with the healthy fats and fiber (as usual, I snuck a veggie in there) will help to keep you full and focused throughout your morning. At least until lunch time, when you can pull an actual pb and j out of your lunchbox.
This breakfast is the perfect meal prep option. They’re easy to make, portable, and store well in the fridge. Before eating, I like to sprinkle over some crumbled Frooze Balls to up the peanut butter and jelly flavor. You could also add some crushed peanuts or fresh fruit for a bit more texture. Make a batch of them on Sunday so you can get a little taste of childhood all week long.
