Wheat Sprouts Chocolate Pudding

When life gives you Wheat Sprouts you make Wheat Sprouts Chocolate Pudding!

I was at the local Food mart buying some groceries and saw some sprouts at the billing counter. The lady at the counter offered them for free..seems no one was interested in them. I grabbed 2 bags. I remembered seeing a ‘Wheat sprouts pudding ‘ recipe on the local TV cookery show. Couldn’t remember the ingredients in details nor did I remember the proportions. I made the Wheat sprouts chocolate pudding on similar lines and with my own measurements.

The result was an absolutely fabulous nutty chocolatey pudding ready within minutes. The only time consuming part would be the sprouting process..but if you get them readily sprouted for free ..ready in a jiffy.     The family could not believe healthy sprouted whole wheat went into this delectable chocolate pudding.
