Cool Vanilla Weight Gain Pudding – Paleo and SCD
Weight gain is something many kids I meet need to work on. But so often, strategies include allergens or other problematic foods that they can’t have: Milk protein (casein), eggs, ice cream, full fat yogurt, cream, Pediasure (that’s milk protein), cane sugar…. What to do?
Shakes, puddings and liquid boost drinks are a great way to do it. Use this hypoallergenic short cut pudding that is full of protein, healthy fats, and some SCD legal carbs and proteins too. Don’t skip the crushed ice in the bottom of your mixing container, it gives a refreshing coolness to the whole recipe!
Cool and soothing, not to mention a big hit of easy to digest calories that help rather than hurt healthy gut bacteria. This will yield as much as 500 calories per serving (recipe makes two generous servings) depending on the size of avocado you are using.

Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 ripe soft avocado
- 1 cup coconut milk canned, ideally without gum additives
- 2 Tablespoons raw honey
- 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons almond butter no added sugar
- 1/4 cup crushed ice
- dash GF organic vanilla extract
- dash nutmeg
- 1 scoop collagen (Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen is my favorite!)
Servings: ~5-6 oz servings
Instructions
- Place crushed ice in the bottom of blender or tall quart mixing jar or container (in which case you'll need an immersion blender). Add remaining ingredients on top. Blend all together until smooth and evenly blended into pudding texture.
- Spoon into single serving Pyrex cups or bowls. Sprinkle nutmeg on top for garnish and flavor.
- If a drinkable version is ideal, add water until thinned to desired degree. This will reduce calories per serving.
