Indulge in a guilt-free dessert with this creamy and satisfying Whole30 High Protein Chocolate Pudding. Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like ripe avocado, pitted medjool dates, and chocolate-flavored collagen peptides, this no-cook recipe delivers a rich chocolate flavor without added sugar or dairy. Smooth unsweetened almond milk and a hint of vanilla extract elevate the texture and flavor, while the natural sweetness of dates keeps it Whole30-compliant. Ready in just 15 minutes of prep, this high-protein, paleo-friendly treat is perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert option. Serve it chilled for a velvety finish, and garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa or fresh fruit for an extra touch!
Begin by soaking the medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. This will make them easier to blend.
While the dates are soaking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Drain the soaked dates and add them to the blender with the avocado.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate flavored collagen peptides, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender.
Blend all ingredients together on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Taste the pudding and adjust for sweetness if desired, although the natural sweetness of the dates and chocolate collagen peptides should suffice for a Whole30 dessert.
Once blended to a smooth consistency, transfer the pudding into serving dishes.
Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow it to set and chill.
Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder or a few slices of fresh fruit.
