Dairy Free Chocolate Pudding
Do you ever have too many ripe avocados and you already have enough guacamole and wonder what in the heck am I going to do with all of these! Ripe 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.
This dairy free chocolate pudding is so rich and creamy when you taste it you would swear it's not good for you. Since there are only clean ingredients meaning that they have no processed chemicals, it is 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.
Make sure your avocado is not brown yet. 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.

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. Itās 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 'bitesā 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!
