Not many believe me when I tell them that they are eating blended avocado. Avocado is so creamy in texture, it makes the perfect base for a decadent and luscious pudding. Trust me when I say, even if you don’t like avocado, you will still love this amazingly delicious and nutritious chocolate avocado pudding dessert.

Why Do I Love Avocados So Much
- Plenty of Potassium – this mineral helps regulare nerve function, move nutrients into ceslls and works to combat high blood pressure
- Lots monounsaturated fats – the fat that lowers LDL cholesterol without affecting the good HDL cholesterol
- High in Fiber – Foods with more fiber tend to keep you satiated longer than low-fiber foods do, which makes avocados a great choice for weight management.
- Filled with Folate – folate is a b vitamin that is important for proper bain function & healthy pregnancies.
When it comes down to it, avocados are a great source of nutrients. What I love about this chocolate avocado pudding recipe is we’re combining a nutritious fruit (yes, avocados are a fruit) with another great love of mine, chocolate… making this one of my favorite dessert recipes to date.
