Yummy in my Tummy!

Do you have a sweet tooth?  Me too! Thought I'd share the recipe to one of my favorite treats ~ Raw Chocolate Pudding.

Its vegan (moo moo), gluten free (woot woot), sugar free (bop bop) & super easy to make (yippee). And it tastes much better than real pudding.
















This recipes makes two servings.

Ingredients:
1 medium ripe avocados
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/8 cup raw cacao powder (raw) 
small pinch of salt
1/2 cup water (recipes calls for this but i don't use it)
1/4 cup almond butter (recipes calls for this but i don't use it)

Garnish with;
strawberry slices 
chai seeds
lime zest
mint leaf

Combine avocados, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla, salt and agave nectar into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. I add a bit of chai seeds, lime zest, fresh berries and a mint leaf as a garish because I love the fresh taste it adds!  It only takes about 10 minutes to make & you can eat it right away too.  I hope you try it & enjoy.

















































Experiment with alternate ingredients as well - I sometimes change the avocados to frozen blueberries or bananas.
