Healthy "Chocolate" Pudding

What kid doesn't like chocolate pudding?


Let's take a look inside: avocados, bananas, almond/coconut milk, a little maple syrup, carob, and vanilla... where's the artificial flavor? Where's the chocolate? Where's the preservatives? Oh that's right--not in this super healthy, kid-friendly dessert! Yes, it's possible to taste delicious and be totally nutritious as well. That's what our kids deserve.

2 small avocados
2 medium bananas
3/4 cup almond or coconut milk (use canned coconut milk for richer pudding)
1/2 cup carob powder
2 tsp. vanilla (alcohol free)
1 Tbsp  pure maple syrup (add more to taste if not sweet enough for you)

Blend in a Vita Mix or Blentec. If it's too thick, add a little more almond or coconut milk. It will firm up in the fridge, so chill a bit before serving. Keeps in the fridge for several days.
