Honey Almond Protein Pudding

Honey Almond Protein Pudding

Why this is peri-perfect...
A spoonable blend of protein, creaminess, and crunch—this pudding is a quiet little hormone helper in disguise. With around 30g of protein from cottage cheese and powder, it supports muscle tone, metabolism, and blood sugar balance—especially important in perimenopause when both insulin sensitivity and lean mass start to shift. Honey gives a natural touch of sweetness (without the crash), while almonds bring fibre, healthy fats, and magnesium to calm your nervous system. Gentle, grounding, and just sweet enough—this one’s perfect when you want something nourishing that feels like a treat.
