Andy Deas’ Coconut/Apple Pudding

If you’re not listening to Robb Wolf’s Paleolithic Solution Podcast, I have a huge problem with you.  I’m serious.

In the most recent episode, Robb’s tag-team-partner Andy outlines a recipe for a truly delicious Paleo Dessert, as follows…

Coconut/Apple Pudding:

• 1 Can Coconut Milk
• 2-4 tbsp Coconut Oil (added as a thickener)
• 3 Apples – Skinned + Chopped (preferably organic – whatever kind you like)
• Cinnamon to taste, I suggest using quite a bit

Place all ingredients in a pot and cook until apples are softened.  Pour straight into blender/food processor and blend until smooth.  Refrigerate until solid-ish, probably about a day, then ENJOY!

I will tinker with other fruit/berries and report back – I could see this working well with blueberries specifically.  Another way to do this is to use frozen bananas and blend those.

EDIT (5.4.10): You can go straight to the source here.

EDIT (8.12.10): Looks like Andy and some listeners are adding Coconut Oil as a thickener.  Seems like a great idea.  I will try it out tonight and see how it goes, will expand this edit ASAP to update on how it works.  Also – listen to the new podcast if you havent caught it yet, he discusses the changes at the very end!  Plus there’s now a Robb Wolf drinking game!

Training:

Deadlift

1. Z-Health Neural Warmup
2. Diesel Crew Shoulder Rehab – Circuit #3
3. Deadlift 5/3/1
   • 295 x 3
   • 335 x 3
   • 380 x 3
4. Deadlift 5 x 10 @ 150#

I was spent after this and left immediately post 5×10.

Press/Chins

1. Z-Health Neural Warmup
2. Press – worked with singles, due to some pretty funky DOMS in my triceps
   • 95 x 1
   • 125 x 1
   • 145 x 1
   • 165 x fail
   • 155 x 2
3. Press – 5 x 10 @ 70#
4. Chinups
   • BW x 5, 3
   • BW + 50# x 2 x 3
   • BW + 50# x 4
   • BW x 10

The DOMS from my rep-upper last week was still there, and while I likely should have rested, I think the reduced workload was okay.  Didn’t get worse the next day, so I’m hoping for a speedy recovery.

Party on dudes
