No one will ever guess the main ingredient of this extremely healthy chocolate pudding: avocados! Even those that don’t enjoy the taste or texture of avos they will love this recipe. Don’t tell anyone and they’d never guess. This is an absolute favorite in our house. I make a double recipe every time.
This recipe is from the Chia Seeds” Bursting with Energy” recipe book by Lani Rosetta, also the author of “Lose Weight with Live Foods.” She makes a thickener for this recipe with chia seeds, but we think the pudding is always thick enough without.

- 1/2 cup organic agave nectar

- Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
