Gut Healthy Avocado Chocolate Pudding
Share

As many of you know, I am fully obsessed with chocolate...
I can’t help but sneak it into every possible healthy dessert recipe. My mom and I both share an affinity for pudding—there’s just something about that rich, creamy texture that instantly feels comforting. We recently stumbled upon a chocolate pudding recipe on Pinterest and thought, “Umm, Mom, I think we can totally make our own version!” Except our version features mood-boosting, antioxidant-packed raw cacao, creamy avocado, and a crunchy topping of our gut-friendly Original Cinnamon Granola.
So, why make this pudding? Here’s a quick look at its gut-loving superstars:
-
Raw Cacao:
- Packed with flavonoids and polyphenols that may support heart health and gut-friendly microbes.
- A study in Frontiers in Nutrition (2017) suggests that cocoa polyphenols can help maintain a healthy gut microbiota balance.
-
Avocado:
- High in healthy monounsaturated fats, which can assist in nutrient absorption and support digestion.
- Research published in Nutrients (2019) indicates that avocado consumption is associated with improved gut health markers and increased beneficial gut bacteria.
-
Eat Purposefully Cinnamon Granola:
- Delivers multiple sources of prebiotic fiber and plant-based protein to keep you feeling satisfied.
- Cinnamon helps support healthy blood sugar levels while providing a warm, comforting flavor.
- Our purposeful processes like fermentation make this ultra easy to digest
Gut-Friendly Chocolate Avocado Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado (peeled and pitted)
- 2 large tablespoons of raw cacao (unsweetened)
- ½ tablespoon of honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of your favorite plant milk (I’m using unflavored organic soy)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, add the avocado, raw cacao, honey, vanilla extract, and plant milk.
- Use an immersion blender on and off for 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes velvety smooth. (A regular blender or food processor also works perfectly—just blend until creamy.)
- Taste test and adjust sweetness or cacao level as desired.
- Spoon the pudding into your favorite serving bowl.
- Top generously with our Original Cinnamon Granola for a crunchy, gut-loving finish!
Enjoy this luscious, chocolatey pudding knowing you’re not just indulging your sweet tooth—you’re fueling your body with nourishing ingredients that love your gut right back.
