If you are a fan of chocolate pudding… this is a must try! This chocolate pudding includes an avocado and a banana – a great way to get in some fibre, and whole foods. Compared to store bought pudding – it cuts down on added sugar, and if you have a milk allergy or intolerance, it’s also lactose free. It’s a great vegan alternative to a milk & sugar based pudding the whole family will love.
In addition, the pumpkin seed butter adds a little protein to this dessert, in addition to a satisfying twist for the taste buds!
It is super simple and quick to make – I whipped mine up in 5 minutes flat. Put all the ingredients into the blender and press the button.
Next time you are craving chocolate pudding- make your own and try this healthier alternative!
