I love to make this avocado chocolate pudding with only 5 ingredients - dark chocolate, coconut milk, avocado, honey, and cocoa. Plus, it doesn't take long to melt the chocolate and blend everything together then chill it and you end up with a rich, velvety chocolate pudding that's Paleo and full of antioxidants.
I love to make this pudding for myself for both special occasions and for "just because." It's great because it's so healthy with all the avocado, coconut milk, and antioxidant-rich chocolate. I love how smooth and creamy it is and it's so surprising how you can't even taste the avocado.
Plus I love how it's sweetened with honey because my body handles honey really well and I LOVE the flavor of it. Plus, honey in and of itself is so good for you, especially if you eat raw, local honey.
As for the dark chocolate, for the most antioxidants, look for semi-sweet or dark chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa solids and the least amount of sugar.
Dark chocolate without unhealthy additives, such as sugar, has been shown to lower the risk of cancer and strokes. Chocolate also improves immunity, and promotes greater longevity and quicker recovery from intense exercise. It sounds like the perfect excuse to eat some chocolate right now!
I would love to know if you try this Paleo chocolate pudding recipe and what you think of it. For me, the hardest part is finding 4 ripe avocados at the store. After that, it's so easy! Please comment below and let me know what you think.
