Lori and I have been slowly getting back into playing in the kitchen. We have so many recipes we want to share, just takes time to plan it out, take pictures, edit pictures, and write up the post. So we thank you all for still sticking around through all the craziness here from moving, remodeling, etc.
We did a lot of work around Lori’s new house yesterday that around 4 or so in the afternoon we had a craving for something cool and refreshing. It has been hot here, so baking did not seem appealing.
Chia pudding to the rescue!
You all know we love our chia seeds.
Purely Twins Cookies-n-Cream Chia Pudding
inspired by mini cookies-n-cream cakes
Serves 2
Prep-time – a few minutes to gather the ingredients then about 15 minutes or so as the chia pudding sets.
Cook time – zero
Ingredients:
- 2 cups coconut kefir ( we used So Delicious Diary Free Plain Coconut Kefir) or you could make your own coconut kefir recipe.
- 3 tbsp protein powder of choice (we used Sunwarrior Brown Rice protein)
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 2-4 chocolate cookies (we used Twin Cakes Spiced Cocoa Coconut Chew)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Directions:
Place coconut kefir, protein powder, chia seeds, and coconut oil into a blender and whip together. Then let set in fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Once chia starts to thicken, stir in your cookie crumbs.
If desire more sweetness, add a few drops of stevia. Or whatever sweetener you desire.
Other great cookies you could use in this recipe are:
valentine heart cookie sandwich
no bake chocolate chip cookies
man, do we love our cookie-like desserts or what? haha
I probably could have found a few more recipes to throw in there but decide that was enough 
I just kept finding some old recipes that I forgot about. Lori and I need to find a better way to organize our recipes, and we apologize we never finished our recipe page. The best way to find our recipes is use the tabs in our sidebar on the right – one called baked recipes and the other one is called raw food recipes. Or use the search bottom to help you find what you are looking for.
Many of you have asked us will our recipes still be available when we start the new blog. And to answer that is yes!! Pure2raw will still be here, so you can still access our recipes. We do plan on transferring some of them over to our new blog too, just need to decided on which ones we want to carry over.
I have been working hard on designing our new site, it is almost finished! Lori keeps nagging me to finish it so we can start blogging daily over there. My goal is sometime this week to finish it!
Twins Questions: Do you like cookies-n-cream? Have your ever tried coconut kefir before? If so, did you like it? Do you like kefir or yogurt better?
Lori likes ‘cookie dough’ better then cookies-n-cream, I would have to agree. But we can never turn down anything chocolate based! And we enjoy both kefir and yogurt equally.
till next time,
Michelle

I prefer cookie dough to cookies and cream, but I do like cookies and cream. I haven’t tried kefir yet. I was tempted with the coconut kefir, but never made the plunge and I can only get it at certain stores here that are not really close. I need to give it a try though. I know it’s great for digestion! Looks great ladies!

mmm looks delish!
I guess I didn’t know you were starting a whole new blog?! And this pudding really does sound incredible. I was addicted to making doughy smoothies with oats for a while, and chopped unsweetened chocolate for a crunch. I don’t eat oats though anymore and have been trying to think of a substitute. Must try this out!

This looks great! Thanks for including the other recipes. I made your coconut lemon bars the other day, and they were the cats PJs! I don’t think I would have found the link if another blogger hadn’t included it on her site though, so I’m excited for you to have an updated recipe list!

thanks Caralyn we are excited too
This is such a good idea! Mine is sitting in the fridge now waiting for me
I didn’t have any coconut milk kefir and wanted to make this so I just used 1/2 cup greek yogurt and 1/2 cup almond milk. I used your protein thin mints as the cookies too 
Wish I had some twin cakes cookies! Thanks
Oh using thin mints as cookies is a great idea, yum!
This looks soooo delicious! This recipe reminds me that it’s been far too long since I’ve had chia seeds, I need to pick some up soon!
I’ve never tried coconut kefir, but I’ve been wanting to, it looks tasty.

This looks sooo delicious! I haven’t tried coconut kefir yet, but this has totally inspired me to buy some! Another brilliant recipe, thanks ladies! : )
Yum! I know I’ll be eating this soon
I JUST made coconut kefir yesterday but with the granule-y starter.. I was so excited but it smells funny and is very tangy.. It looks fine so I’m not really sure if I did anything wrong. I’ve never had kefir before so is it supposed to be really tangy? I went ahead and made the pudding with it anyways. To be honest, the smell/taste makes me a little nauseous.
Erin, kefir is a sour, somewhat tangy taste. As it is “fermented”, most fermented things have a strong taste and smell to them.
nice………………
This looks absolutely fantastic. I’ll need to find some gluten free cookies and try this out!
