Guilt Free Chocolate Pudding

/

Soooo you will be surprised how well these flavours blend together!  It is a great and healthy dessert that YOUR KIDS will LOVE and they won't even know it's mainly made from Avocados.  Yes I repeat AVOCADOS!  Have you ever looked and understood the ingredients in store bought puddings?  This is so simple and easy to make!  

  • 2 Avocados
  • 4 Tbsp Coconut Milk
  • 2/3 cup Raw Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 Cup of Real Maple Syrup or Raw Honey
  • 1/2 Tsp of Cinnamon or drop of Cinnamon Essential Oil  (optional)
  • 1/2 Tsp Simply Organic Vanilla extract or inside of 1 Vanilla Bean

 

Place all ingredients into blender or food processor and blend until creamy.  You can top with Cacao Nibs or non GMO Vegan Chocolate chips for some extra texture and flavour.  The cinnamon and vanilla pair lovely together but if you prefer other "chocolate flavours" such as orange or mint you can always use different essential oils to flavour!  (because they are so concentrated use 1-2 drops only or to taste).

Serves 4 - 6 :)

***Juicy Tip - Did you know that raw honey contains 22 amino acids, 27 minerals and 5,000 enzymes?  It is also has minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium, iron and selenium. As well vitamin B6, and B3 (niacin).
