I am a huge fan of avocados. I typically eat one a day by making guacamole, using it in salads and smoothies along with this delicious chocolate pudding! This recipe will help to curb your chocolate cravings without the guilt.

Why should you make your own pudding?

Take a look below at the ingredients in JELL-O’s chocolate puddings. It is loaded with sugar, conventional dairy, vegetable oils (which cause inflammation), GMOs, artificial colourings and words I don’t even know how to pronounce. It is so important to know what is going into our bodies and to fuel our bodies with nutrient-rich foods.
