My good friend and former podcast co-host Dr. Sharone Rosen, turned me on to this curious recipe for Chocolate Avocado Pudding! Who would have thought you could make a pudding using the same thing you use to make guacamole? I tried it out and can honestly say it tastes just like chocolate pudding. It’s even better.
Enjoy this Recipe

You may not think of avocado as a pudding but it’s a perfect treat for anyone with a sweet tooth who wants to stay away from the junk-filled puddings you can buy at the store. It’s a healthy alternative that you can give your grandkids as a healthy treat. If you don’t want to use real Maple syrup, you can also use honey, agave, or stevia as a sweetener. No matter what you choose, you’ll be surprised at how good this recipe tastes.
The benefits and goodness of eating avocado
Avocado prevents prostate cancer and oral cancer. It also improves eye health, lowers cholesterol, maintains heart health, prevents stroke, helps the body absorb nutrients, and is an excellent source of Glutathione and vitamin E. I could eat an avocado every day and most days I do, usually for breakfast as avocado toast, in sandwiches, salad, and, of course, guacamole.

I think this recipe is fantastic! I know it’s crazy, but I even sprinkle some nutmeg and cinnamon on top for a little extra flavor! Who would’ve known Avocado’s were so versatile. Thanks to your site I was able to see avocados for more than that strange lumpy pear!
