Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Life is to short to skip dessert. Yes, I said it, I indulge in tasty desserts on a regular basis. Who wants to go through life restricting everything that they eat? A big part of life is enjoying the journey. Your sweet treat doesn’t have to be half a gallon of ice cream (try our DIY healthy Cake-batter Ice Cream) or a pound of cake. There are many yummy treats that are healthy, won’t expand your waist line and are satisfying to that sweet tooth. This recipe is a favorite among children and adults.

Feel good indulging in this silky chocolate avocado pudding as avocados are a nutrient rich food with many health benefits. Avocados build the blood and harmonizes the liver, while lubricating the lungs and intestines. They are a natural source of lecithin. Avocados are a brain food containing more then 80% of its calories from easily digested fats. Rich in copper and potassium, these gems aid in red blood cell formation and are a nutritious protein source.
