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.

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! :)
The BEST Gelato I ever had was Avocado so I imagine this will rock my socks:)
Your pics of the chocado pudding may have just placed me on the chocado pudding train. Can’t wait to make it when I am home for spring break and have blender access. Haha, is it sad that I am excited to be home so that I can use special cooking equipment? Such a foodie.
The pudding looks incredible! And not at all like that gross processed stuff you can find at the grocery store! I will definitely try this, thanks SO much for the recipe :)
Ange, sent you an email. Thanks lovely!
Ohh the pudding looks awesome! I wrote the recipe down to make sure I try making it soon! :) Thanks for sharing!
I love how your bowl looks like a pie shell….at first I was surprised you would make pastry and then realized it was a bowl :)
The links to other health sites is a great idea….

You weren’t wrong about the food-porn alert. I just ate lunch, but I’m strangely hungry after seeing that pudding.
Hi Angela – what a great idea for the food blog list! All of us newbies out there thank you ;)
just wanted to say I finally got up the nerve to try a green monster this morning! it wasn’t bad!
Isn’t it amazing how some of the healthiest foods can easily be masked in with other tasty things? Nature knew what it was doing!
I love how this recipe doesn’t have chia seeds or other expensive nutrition supplements that I can’t afford to keep in stock. :) Thanks for keeping it simple AND delicios!
i LOVE the idea of recognizing other healthy food bloggers! I just emailed you
Oh and that looks amazing!! and yes one serving works for me :) ill eat the WHOLE thing!

hmmmm…..I mean..mmmmmmmm do you think that chocolate protein powder could be substituted for cocoa powder? Also…what about substituting coconut milk for coconut oil? Let me know your thoughts :) happy weekend!
How many servings will this make? Does it keep well? I bought all of the ingredients-it looks amazing! Let’s be honest, this would probably be fantastic for breakfast, no shame here.
I emailed you to add my blog to your list! Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s blogs. :)
That chocolate pudding looks so delicious!
I just made the pudding. It’s been on my mind for about a week now. SOOOO GOOD! I did about 3 Tbsp. agave. I would like it to be a tad sweeter, but I wanted to try to keep the sugar down a bit. Mine turned out quite a bit lighter than yours though. I wonder why. I used dark agave. Maybe you have a darker cocoa powder? It’s delicious either way. It’s sitting in my fridge calling my name…I have to go.
I made this tonight and it was so good! Only problem was that I clearly need a larger food processor! It barely fit in mine and didnt quite mix all the way.
Can you suggest a substitution for the coconut butter or oil? That’s the only ingredient I don’t have in the house.
You could probably get away without including it, since it is just a tablespoon. I’m not sure what you could really sub for it. Let me know what you end up making! ~Ange
Hi Angela,
This sounds and looks amazing!!
I’m allergic to nuts…do you have any suggestions for what to use instead of almond butter???
