Healthy Vegan + Paleo Chocolate Pudding

May 17, 2020 by Mia Zarlengo 1 Comment

The BEST paleo and vegan chocolate pudding made with avocado! I swear you would never know this is a healthier chocolate pudding- it tastes like the real deal. It doubles as a dip for fruit, too! SO GOOD.

It could not be easier to make, and it’s super allergy friendly. It can be made nut free, too! The silky smooth texture and chocolatey flavor of the pudding is so perfect. I’m telling you- even the pickiest eater would enjoy this and never know it was dairy free and refined sugar free!

I really loved it served with coconut cool whip for a healthier pudding cup, but it was also so epic with some berries and bananas (and peanut butter!). I am really into having simple, healthier treats around like this. I feel so much better knowing exactly what’s in my food 🙂

This pudding only needs a handful of ingredients:

  • Avocado
  • Cacao Powder
  • Maple Syrup
  • Dairy free milk (I used macadamia milk)
  • Chia Seeds
  • Vanilla
  • Sea salt

You just toss it all in the blender until it’s super smooth. You could easily double or triple the recipe for a larger group, too! This would be a great wine night treat for the girls, or a date night in dessert!

I can’t wait for you guys to try this and taste how unreal this chocolate pudding is! Yay for healthy desserts that taste like the real thing 😉 Enjoy! xo

    This is the best!! I made my friends taste it and try to guess the ingredient that made it so creamy, they were all shocked when I told them avocado!

note: i do not recommend any substitutions that are not listed in the recipe! changing the flours will result in a different texture 🤍
