Jason Mraz's Healthy Chocolate Pudding Recipe
A creamy chocolate pudding that's rich in healthy
monounsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids, making it an excellent
choice for promoting a healthy cardiovascular system and good overall
health.
Note: The quantities listed below will make a big bowl of chocolate pudding, enough for about four large servings. If you tend to eat smaller portions of decadent desserts, we recommend using just half of the quantities listed.
Ingredients:
5 ripe avocados
1 1/2 cups dates, soaked in water for 1 hour, drained, roughly chopped
2 cups raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
Raw organic honey (optional) (or maple syrup, but dates are very sweet)
Directions:
1. Mash avocados until creamy.
2. Add chopped dates and vanilla. Mix well to bring everything together.
3. Add half a cup of cacao powder, mix well, taste, then add another half cup of cacao powder, and repeat until the pudding is chocolate-y enough for you. Be sure to take it in steps like this, as adding too much cacao can make the pudding somewhat bitter.
4. If the dates don't sweeten the pudding to your satisfaction, add a little raw organic honey, and give the pudding another good mix.
