Gina’s Choco-Cado Pudding
I have wanted to make an avocado-based pudding for a while now (thanks for the reminders in yesterday’s discussion!!!). I asked Gina if she had a recipe that I could use and she provided me with her Choco-Cado Pudding recipe. It was super easy to whip up and it tastes like a dream!! I made a few small modifications that are noted beside her recipe.
[Recipe Source: The Fitnessista]
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup agave (dark) (I used 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup water (I forgot to add the water, but I loved how thick it was!)
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder
- small pinch sea salt
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I used coconut butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions: Throw all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
It takes less than 2-3 minutes to prepare!
I asked Gina to marry me on Twitter after I made this. That pretty much sums it up! :mrgreen:
I have never in my life tasted a pudding so delicious. Gahhhhhhhhhhh.
And no, you cannot taste the avocado at all.
Avocados are also rich in Vitamin K, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Oleic acid, and carotenoids!

Have a wonderful Thursday! :)
That pudding looks amazing!! Can you taste the avocado in it?
Nope not at all!!
How many servings does that make?
umm…one…
jk…I’d say 2-3…its RICH!!!
Hm…so does this chocolate pudding count as a serving of fruit? ;)
of course
I just made this… really if I had to make this again I would totally skip the agave nectar… (I put 1/4 cup) it is so (too) sweet and rich that 2 spoons and I had enough…
I’m still on the fence as to whether I like avocado or not… can you taste the avocado or does it the pudding just taste like chocolate?
Looks delicious though!
yes it tastes like the best chocolate pudding in the world and you cant taste the avocado at all!
I think my computer just malfunctioned from the food porn that was just viewed. I am going to have to make this in the near future!!!

Oh my Ange! I need to make this pudding once lent is OVER!!!
LOVE the resources idea!! And OMG, if that isn’t food porn, I don’t know what is. I HAVE to try that!!!
hehe, I loved the food porn warning. The people that sit near me do probably wonder why I look at pictures of food all day. I’m excited that I have allll of these ingredients on hand AND my sweet tooth has been out of control lately. Thanks!!

That pudding has to be good. You and Gina @ Fitnessista are my favorites.
That looks AMAZING!!! And I’m not even a chocolate person….
Dang I just ate my avocado on Tuesday night! I will have to get more!

I made a similar pudding based on a recipe from Marni Wasserman’s blog. It had dates in it too. soooo good!
I like the idea of sweetening with dates. I don’t do agave. Thanks for the idea!
