Chocolate Pudding that is actually good for you- too good to be true?

I don't know about you but when I hear the word Chocolate it is all I can think about. I don't have much of a sweet tooth except for chocolate, especially dark chocolate. I start every morning with a piece of Dove Dark Chocolate and I love it. I am a huge follower of the website Fitsugar and frequently view their recipes. I saw that they had a Chocolate Pudding recipe and immediately was interested. I decided to make it myself.

The ingredients:

2 Avocados (would you ever expect that?!)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
3/4 cup Raw Cacao Powder
1 cup Almond Milk
3/4 cup Maple Syrup (I used Honey because we had it at home) Next time I will use the Maple Syrup..the honey was a little too sweet after awhile

Then you literally just blend everything up and refrigerate it and it is good to go!

I was shocked when I tried it, it tasted just like Chocolate Pudding, and you couldn't even taste the avocado.

Why this is good for you:

Avocados- Avocados are great for you. They are a form of healthy fat and can replace oils and butters used for baking. They are mild so they blend nicely into whatever it is you are making. They also are beneficial for your heart and help with nutrient absorption. I am positive there is a long list of the benefits of incorporating avocado into your diet but I thought I'd just name a few.

Cinnamon- Cinnamon not only tastes and smells good, but it also increases metabolism, improves memory and attention, alleviates mental stress, and can reduce headaches and migraines. Like avocados, cinnamon has endless health properties that extend past the few listed.

Raw Cacao Powder- Raw Cacao Powder has more antioxidants that any food tested. It has up to 4x the amount of antioxidants found in green tea which is impressive! Not only does it taste amazing when cooked, it has a lower fat content then commercialized chocolate.

Almond milk- Almond milk tastes extremely good by itself. Almond milk has a creamier texture then cow Milk and fewer calories. Almond milk has much more vitamins and nutrients then cow's milk and also has high levels of antioxidants. Almond milk is free of saturated fat and cholesterol, even though it contains more fat then skim milk. The calcium level in almond milk is almost equal to that of cow milk and it is free of the hormones that cow's milk has.

Hope you enjoy this pudding as much as I do!
