CHOCOLATE AVOCADO PUDDING (PALEO, VEGAN)

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado medium sized, ripe

• 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 Teaspoons cinnamon

• 2 Teaspoons cardamom

• 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey

• 6 Tablespoons plain, unsweetened almond milk (I use “Silk” brand almond milk)

• 2 Teaspoons pure vanilla

• 2 Tablespoons hemp seeds (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut open the avocado and scoop out the pit. Cut it into large chunks and put in the blender.

2. Add the cocoa, cinnamon, cardamom, maple syrup or honey, vanilla, and almond milk. Blend, starting on low and then moving to high speed until it is smooth.

3. If the avocado is larger, you will need a bit more of each ingredient. If it is too thick, drizzle in a bit more almond milk. Add more cocoa or honey or maple syrup to taste.

4. Refrigerate the pudding and serve cold. Top with hemp seeds if desired.

Hello friends!!

As promised in the kindergarten workshop today, here is a healthy snack option for your little ones at school.  The avocado contains monounsaturated fats.  The cinnamon contains blood stabilizing fibre, and the raw honey is probiotic rich which will help boost their immune systems.

Happy creating in the kitchen, and Bon Appetite!!
