Simply Delicious Chocolate Avocado Pudding
😋
Did you know that June 26th is National Chocolate Pudding Day❣️ In honor of celebrating, TWH is sharing a favorite recipe that is delicious, nutritious and simple to make in minutes.
Do you ever have too many avocados and you already have enough guacamole and wonder what in the heck am I going to do with all of these? Now don't let the avocados deter you. Once you've tasted how yummy this chocolate pudding is you will change your mind! Avocados are not only adding more nutrients, they are a great way to enhance the pudding with a rich and creamy texture. They are great to use in brownies, cakes, dressings, sauces and smoothies. You do want to make sure that the avocados you use are not too ripe and that they are free of brown spots so your pudding tastes yummy😋
This dairy free chocolate pudding is so mouthwatering when you taste it you'll swear it's not good for you but it is❣️ Enjoy guilt free❣️ Since there are only clean ingredients meaning that they have no processed chemicals, it's a delicious and nutritious treat that you can enjoy as a quick snack or desert. The avocado will make the pudding creamy and the cocoa and maple syrup will overpower the taste of the avocado and if you didn't know it was in there you would never guess:-) Ideally this pudding is best eaten right after making or you can refrigerate it for 20-25 minutes to serve chilled. It can last in the refrigerator up to 2 days but if left longer the avocado could begin to overpower the chocolate flavor.
As mentioned above please do make sure your avocado is not too ripe and not brown yet in any of the flesh. The flavor will be off and you won't get the same results.
This is a fun pudding to make with your kids, family and friends and you can create different puddings by adding a banana, mint or whatever you would like to add and create your own.
Toppings are the best part! Set out toppings of choice from the suggestions below or experiment with your own variations and have fun creating your own chocolate pudding masterpieces😋
*Note: Make sure that all the ingredients are well blended and that there aren't any avocado bits left unprocessed! When our kids were little, Mom got busted attempting to hide the avocado! Their keen little eyes spotted some tiny specks of green at the top of the blender and it took some major convincing to get them to try the pudding❣️
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Prep Time: 5 minutes/25+ minutes if chilled
Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 large avocado or 2 small
3 Tbsps Cocoa powder
1-2 Tbsps Maple Syrup (1 Tbsp if adding banana)
1-2 Tbsps nut milk for thinning if needed
Optional
1 ripe banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 scoop protein powder and increase milk as needed for desired pudding consistency
Toppings
Sliced strawberries
Blueberries
Sliced bananas
Dehydrated coconut flakes
Hemp seeds
Almonds sliced
Walnuts chopped
Chocolate nibs
Trail mix
Granola
Directions
Using a blender or food processor process the avocado first making sure that it is completely pureed without any chunks. Not so great in the pudding! Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. You can add some nut milk or water as needed to help thin the mixture if too thick. Pudding is ready to serve at room temperature or it can be chilled for 20-30 minutes beforehand to serve cold.
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Pudding will last covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but taste is much better right after it's made to avoid the avocado flavor coming through.
Make sure the avocado is well blended without any chunks!
YUM!!!

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
