As a dessert not so sure but as a breakfast what a nice healthy and tasty way to start the day. No an overly sweet pudding which is part of why I liked having the left over for breakfast but DH poured more sugar over his (eye roll). Topped mine with a little additional banana and coconut which is not as pretty as mint or berries but was what I had on hand. Thanks for the post.

This is very easy to do. I like the taste of the coconut in it but less the banana. So another time I may try only with coconut. I used pure maple syrup instead of agave syrup. Thanks duonyte :) Made for PRMR tag game
