Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams sago pearls
- 500 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 60 grams vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 100 grams fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the sago pearls in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sago pearls and almond milk. Allow the sago to soak in the milk for about 10 minutes.
After soaking, place the saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sago becomes translucent, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sago is cooked, add the protein powder, sugar, and salt to the pan. Stir well until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
Pour the pudding mixture into serving bowls and let it cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the sago pudding for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
Before serving, garnish with chopped almonds and fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your high-protein sago pudding as a nutritious dessert or snack!
