Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup plant-based protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 0.5 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., fresh berries, coconut flakes, chopped nuts)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, plant-based protein powder, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender with the avocado.
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness or cocoa level by adding more maple syrup or cocoa powder, if desired.
Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or ramekins.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Before serving, top with your choice of optional toppings such as fresh berries, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
Serve cold and enjoy!
