choco-cado protein pudding

by Dani on September 18, 2011

Sylvester Stallone, I loved you in Rambo, the Expendables and of course, Rocky.

You, at 65 remain one of Hollywood’s most charming, funny and physically fit actors and one of my personal favourites.

Until I came across this…

Stallone brand Protein Pudding.  Ugh. 

I get it, Sly I do.  You’re ripped, you want to help guys get ripped too but seriously?  Couldn’t you have just come out with a workout DVD or something?

The ingredients list is scarier then your role in Cobra.  No offense.

Milk Chocolate Ingredients: Water, calcium caseinate (a milk derivative), soy protein isolate, cocoa (processed with alkali), soybean oil, sodium chloride, dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan, dextrose, tricalcium phosphate, sucralose and acesulfame potassium.

Sorry, Sly, but I think you’re better at acting then at food preparation.  It’s cool, we all have our strengths right?

So I created a protein pudding that is easy, tasty and with whole-food ingredients you can pronounce.  It would make a perfect pre or post-workout meal.

Stallone-Styles Choco-Cado Protein Pudding

Ingredients

1 avocado
1 scoop Sunwarrior Chocolate Protein Powder
1 tbsp raw cacao
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp water or non-dairy milk
pinch of cinnamon

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients into a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until thoroughly mixed.
2. Chill in refrigerator for 30 mins and serve.

Only reason Stallone is in good shape:

Stacie Freudenberg, AP
Prosecutors say 48 vials of illegal human growth hormone were found among Sylvester Stallone’s baggage at an airport in Australia.

Here’s the link to the full story;

I just read this today but it happened in February. I personally don’t care what people want to do to their own bodies as far as HGH or other types of performance enhancers go. This just seems to go against his own supplement line as if to say his own stuff isn’t very good so he takes HGH but his line is good enough for everyone else to take. Kind of another eye opener into the supplement industry. JMO

He is full of HGH and Steroids. He should have his designer line of those not pudding.

I just watched an interesting documentary called “Bigger, Faster, Stronger” about anabolic steroid usage in professional athletes and bodybuilders, it’s was an eye opener for me.

If you are into health and fitness it is hard to deal with people that use HGH or Testosterone because it drastically helps increase lean muscle and tremendously aides in dropping body fat.

I know a lot of people who use and the signs are clear to see. I may go on testosterone replacement therapy but Stallone is juiced to the gills.

God bless him because he has the $$$ to use and hopefully have a panel of Dr’s maintain his hormone levels but please stay away from making supplements for the masses.

It is truly insulting our intelligence.

Oh, Sly, how could he let us down us so badly? ;) Well, glad you came up with your healthy version instead–it looks amazing! I already love chocolate, avocado and SunWarrior, so I know I’d love this, too. Thanks for submitting to Wellness Weekend this week! :D

Once upon I time I used to eat that stuff. They actually discontinued it several years ago!
