After school snack attack?! Chocolate pudding with a nourishing kick to the rescue!
I do love to make regular milk/egg based puddings too, but I didn’t want to leave out the kiddos with the milk or egg allergies, and I’m giving my youngest an egg break for a little bit right now. This has the taste and texture of the real thing – I promise!
You can whip this up in literally minutes – have at it…And get those hungry bellies held over til dinner 😉
You’ll Need:
1 ripe avocado
2 TB 100% raw cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
¼ cup whole milk, coconut milk, or water (Preferably raw milk, or non homogenized, low pasteurized. Never ULP.)
OPTIONS FOR THE “SWEET”:
- ½ banana, 2 TB raw honey or pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup-ish raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 TB raw honey or pure maple syrup and 1 packet real stevia (like THIS
brand)
- ¼ cup sunacat or pure cane sugar
Blend everything up together. Refrigerate leftovers.
Kitchen Tips:
- Play around with the “sweet” to your family’s taste. The option with the ½ banana is going to have some banana flavor to it but I encourage you to try it. Especially if you have very very little ones who don’t really know the difference.
- Add in a little more milk or water and pour them into popcicle molds
! Fudge pops!
- You can add in more nourishment depending on your kiddos needs – pastured egg yolks, quality probiotic powder, Great Lakes Gelatin
, and even coconut oil
, are great options – especially if you are going to freeze them up in popsicle molds.
- HERE is a great way to make your own coconut milk. Otherwise, Native Forest
is the only other brand I know of that doesn’t come in a BPA lined container.
YOUR TURN!
Are your kids ravenously hungry after school?? Let me know how they like the pudding!
