Soyummi vegan puddings review and giveaway

Soyummi Foods contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I would be interested in doing a review of their vegan puddings and a giveaway on my blog. I was happy to try their products and even happier to do a giveaway that will have 3 winners :-) Each winner will receive two coupons for free Soyummi puddings. I redeemed my coupons for dark Chocolate Pudding and Rice pudding which were the only two options that my local Whole Foods offered. Soyummi offers other flavors, such as Tapioca pudding, Cherry pudding and Lime pudding. Each box of Soyummi puddings contains 4 individual pudding cups.

Soyummi puddings are minimally processed. They are made with all natural and organic ingredients. They are GMO free, Vegan, Gluten free, low in fat, and they contain natural prebiotics and fiber. They are sweetened with beet syrup.

Pretty healthy snack or an afternoon treat :-)

The Dark Chocolate Pudding was very fluffy and tasted like a rich dark chocolate dessert.

The Rice pudding was my favorite! Creamy, thick pudding with nice pieces of yummy rice. The taste was beautiful, strong vanilla with a slight hint of lemon. I will be buying this pudding very soon.

I added some fresh pomegranate seeds to one cup of Rice pudding for a nice after dinner dessert.

Czech style Rice Pudding-Vegan MoFo Day 13

Czech rice pudding is traditionally made with milk and raisins and then baked with whipped egg whites on top. That is served with canned or jarred fruit (usually plums, peaches or strawberries). I skipped the baking step because I don't use egg whites so there was no reason for me to bake the pudding. I served mine with canned peaches. When I first worked on this recipe, I used a different method of cooking and different ratios of non-dairy milk and water which resulted in two fails. The first recipe fail was undercooked, tough, rice. The second was burned rice on the bottom of the sauce pan-from the sugar in non-dairy milk (when I tried to cook it in the non-dairy milk instead of water in the beginning).

Czech Rice Pudding

1 cup white rice, uncooked

2 cups water

1 cups soy, almond or coconut milk

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup sugar

1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon

canned fruit of your choice, if desired

Combine rice and water in a medium sauce pan. Bring to boil. Lower the heat, cover with tightly fitting lid. Simmer 15 minutes. Add non-dairy milk, raisins, sugar and cinnamon, stir to combine. Cook uncovered,stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft and creamy. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or chilled, topped with canned fruit if desired.
