Peach is the New Mango?

I showed the mango pudding I found at Trader Joe's in my haul yesterday, but today it deserves it's own star on the vegan walk of fame. It's made of mangoes and coconut, and it's not too sweet at all. At first I gave the package the side eye when it suggested having the pudding for breakfast. But after a quick taste, I realized it was perfect for breakfast. I would say as far as sweetness goes, it's more like a yogurt but without that tang. I made a parfait with strawberries and fresh mango. I felt so Instagram worthy for making this!
I really recommend pairing it with strawberries! I bet raspberries would be outstanding also! This was not on my list, and I almost didn't get it, but I'm so glad I did. I know this won't be a permanent thing, since mango was obviously a theme. I think peach is going to be the next theme. I saw an end cap where they had a vanilla cake mix with some jarred peaches, and I immediately deducted that peach will be the new mango. Peaches and mangoes are two fruits that I love in their whole form, but am always leery of mango and peach "flavor" Like remember those gummy peach rings? My coworker in Erie loved those things, and some nights between the meat smells, the cigarette smoke and the fake peach smell it's a wonder I made it through without puking! 
For dinner I had some odds and ends to use, so I made brown rice and pinto bean burritos, and took it up a notch by making a quick red enchilada sauce and smothering those babies! It was soooooo good! And so filling, and so cheap!
Happy Friday!

  3. I passed the pudding last time because i was afraid it would be too sweet but this makes me think i should try it! What a pretty breakfast you made!
    Simple burritos can be the best, totally brilliant idea to add the enchilada sauce. I actually get the cuban beans in a can from TJs for tacos and such since they're really flavorful

  6. Peaches are just coming into season here. I'm planning to try roasting some to have with yoghurt for breakfasts over the summer. I also love them in a smoothie with banana and blueberries.
