St. Patty’s Thin Mint Pudding {vegan, gf}

I had this whole big elaborate St. Patrick’s Day recipe planned in my head. It was going to be a recipe of epic deliciousness, but then this happened:

NyQuil

ALMOST made it the whole winter without getting sick. Booo! 


I’ve missed 3 days of CrossFit and two runs trying to rest up and get better, but my body just isn’t having it. I’m hoping with all the hope one can hope for that I’ll be all better (or at least well enough) to get back to the box tomorrow.

In the meantime, I decided to scratch my elaborate St. Patrick’s Day recipe plan for one that didn’t require my already hot and clammy self (bleh- clammy – ew) to stand over a hot stove. 

Enter this last minute St. Patty’s Thin Mint Pudding!

It’s sweet and pepperminty like a Shamrock Shake. Topped with a delicious minty cashew cream. Like a Girl Scout Thin Mint in pudding form. Did I mention it’s vegan and gluten free? Maybe the luck of the Irish is on my side after all. Can the luck of the Irish be on the side of someone that isn’t Irish? I have red hair. Does that count? 

Now if only the little leprechauns could bring me some health. I wouldn’t turn down a pot of gold either… 

St. Patty’s Thin Mint Pudding that’s healthy, #vegan and #glutenfree? I’m feeling lucky! #meatlessmonday

  15. BOOO SICK! I got sick over the holidays and my taste buds STILL have not returned to 100% normal. I is angry about it. Hehe. This pudding sounds fun, though. My favorite St Patty’s day thing is just good ‘ol corned beef and cabbage and beer. Doesn’t even have to have food dye it. Regular ‘ol pee colored beer is fine with me. 😉

  17. So sorry you got sick! I feel like we actually spent the whole winter sick because there was ALWAYS one of us sick in this house all winter!! Yuck. That pudding sounds and looks delicious! I am a sucker for thin mints, and this will definitely not make me feel crappy after eating it 😉
