Everyone needs a sweet treat every now and then. And this chocolate goodness is full of super foods!
First up! Let's talk Avocados! They are full of healthy fats. Yes... I said fats.
For everyone that went through the 90's when we were told fats were bad, let's stop right there...
Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks, especially for your brain and heart health. So instead of focusing on low fat, focus on using good fats like olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, grass fed butter, and ghee. And ditch unhealthy fats like soybean oil, hydrogenated oils, corn oil, canola oil, margarine, and shortening.
And next! up for super foods.... Cacao! Yes! Chocolate is good for you, it's all about having the right kind of chocolate. Organic Cacao Powder is full of antioxidants, vitamins, emails, and minerals, and is great for your brain, heart, skin, and even aids in weight loss. On the other hand... Cocoa Powder is a processed form of Cacao making it less beneficial for us. Cocoa Powder is heated and refined, stripped of its nutrients, and often contains sugar, & hydrogenated oils (bad fats)
And bonus ingredient! Pure Maple Syrup! It is packed with minerals and a great replacement to sugar in your recipes.
Here is the recipe! Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
- 2 Avocado
- 4 Tablespoons Cacao Powder
- 4-6 Tablespoons of pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- Pinch of redmonds sea salt
- 1/3 cup plant based milk
Put all in blender, blend, and enjoy
And if chocolate isn't your thing, you can switch out the Cacao Powder for the juice of a fresh lime, cut the plant milk back to 1/4 cup, and add 5 drops of Lime vitality essential oil to make a Key Lime Pudding. It's delicious with coconut sprinkled on top!
