rawPUDDING

last nights dinner called for dessert!  but come to think of it...i don't even remember what we had for dinner last night.  hmmm....

maybe it's because all i can think about is the dessert! 

raw CHOCOLATE pudding! :) 

with only 6 ingredients (+2 optional) & it's smooth chocolate deliciousness it absolutely meets the criteria around here.  quick, simple & good!  

seeing the avocados & the bananas in the pictures above you may be thinking to yourself..."could it really taste good & chocolatey & yummy like pudding?""  well, yes, yes, it sure does!!!

and it is good for you too! ;)  i'll just touch on the 3 main ingredients...bananas are rich in potassium & fiber aiding in cardiovascular protection, healthy fluid balance in your body & digestion.  they also are a great source of vitamin B6 which acts as an anti-inflammotory in your body & is used in the development of new cell growth!  

avocados are just so tasty & full of many great healthy benefits like monounsaturated fats...the good fats!  the ones that lower LDL cholesterol & help your heart!  & they have even more potassium than the already highly potassium rich banana!!!!  can you believe it?  they are also rich in folate, antioxidants and so much more! 

and then there is the raw cacao powder, not to be confused with cocoa!  i have mentioned the good stuff in this one before, so i'll just say it is contains lots of antioxidants, minerals & feel good mood boosters!;)

so whether you are a die hard, sweet tooth, chocolate lover or just a health nut looking for a sweet fix...i would recommend giving this one a try!  besides it takes only minutes to make and you might rrrrrrrrreally like it!  ....i hope! 

ingredients.

1 avocado

1 ripe banana

3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/4 cup raw cacao powder

2tbs maple syrup (i use grade b)

how to.
place all of the above in the blender and mix it up until smooth.  then separate into serving cups and chill in the fridge for about an hour.  i also like to add shredded unsweetened coconut & almonds to the top before serving...for taste & presentation!
