Low Fat Chocolate Gingerbread Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 bananas
• 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
• 1/4 cup (more or less) water

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 small piece fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
• 2 Tbsp hemp protein powder (optional)

Fresh ginger is fantastic because it can soothe an upset
stomach and even boosts your digestive system.
Mixing molasses with chocolate adds flavour and it has
lots of iron and B vitamins.
