What would you say if we offered you a rich, luscious, indulgent bowl of chocolate pudding, and told you it was so healthy you could enjoy it any time? We hope you'd say, “Pass me a spoon!”
Even better news: This avocado chocolate pudding is refined sugar- and dairy-free, and so easy to make you can go from thinking, I feel like pudding,to dipping your spoon in under 10 minutes.
Whip a batch up today—even for breakfast (we won’t judge).
