Every once in a while you just need some chocolate pudding. Well, actually I could always eat chocolate pudding if it wasn’t for the fact that most pudding is filled with artificial ingredients I don’t even know how to pronounce. So, I decided to make my own healthy version with this chocolate avocado protein pudding.

I got some ripe avocados from the grocery a few days ago with no real plan on what I wanted to do with them. I was maybe thinking I could use them for some eggs and avocado on toast or maybe some guacamole. Then I decided, why not make a delicious dessert with them?

Avocados and bananas are really the perfect fruits (yes, avocado is a fruit) to make pudding with. They both give the pudding such a creamy and rich texture. And, with the addition of natural peanut butter and maple syrup, it takes the flavor profile to a whole other level.

I think the unique flavor of this pudding is probably my favorite part. The mixture of banana, chocolate, and maple flavor is so unique and delicious. Of course, I also love the creamy texture and the fact that it is made with all healthy ingredients. I don’t think I will ever be eating store-bought pudding again!
