DIY Pudding

This has fast become one of my favorites!


2 cups dairy free milk. I have used coconut milk and oat milk with great results. (You could also use regular milk.)

1/4 cup honey

1 Tbsp vanilla

2 egg yolks (only yolks)

1/8 tsp salt

1 Tbsp plain, unflavored gelatin

1 Tbsp dairy free butter (You can also use regular butter.)


Whisk together the milk, honey, vanilla, yolks, and salt in a saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let it bloom/soak up moisture.


After the gelatin has bloomed, turn on medium heat and slowly bring to a boil while stirring. Boil for only about 10 seconds - this will cook the egg through but will not break down the gelatin. Remove form heat and add the butter - stirring until fully melted and mixed in.


Pour into a dish and put in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

What is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)?

Here is a good description from the Cleveland Clinic Website. Click the link below for more information.

"Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes your heart to beat faster than normal when you transition from sitting or lying down to standing up. It’s a type of orthostatic intolerance.

Each word of “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” has a meaning:

Postural: Related to the position of your body.

Orthostatic: Related to standing upright.

Tachycardia: A heart rate over 100 beats per minute.

Syndrome: A group of symptoms that happen together.

Normally, your body’s autonomic nervous system balances your heart rate and blood pressure to keep your blood flowing at a healthy pace, no matter what position your body is in. If you have POTS, your body can’t coordinate the balancing act of blood vessel constriction (squeezing) and heart rate response. This means that your body can’t keep your blood pressure steady and stable. This causes a variety of symptoms.

Each case of POTS is different. People with POTS may see symptoms come and go over a period of years. In most cases, with adjustments in diet, medications and physical activity, a person with POTS will experience an improvement in their quality of life.
