Delicious! Tastes absolutely so good, my twin 2 year olds love it! Made with immersion blender, makes just enough for 2 days of snacks!
Super easy and delicious ! I made it with agave and a sliver 9f banan, it was guilt free and a few tastings satisfies the craving!
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra. It’s definitely a good guilt free treatment.
Love this recipe! Made it for my son who is a picky eater and I myself even enjoyed it. He was able to eat a few scoops and said it taste very good.
Wins with picky eaters are the best victories, and I love that you enjoyed it too. A few scoops and a ‘very good’ from him is the best compliment. Thank you for sharing this with me!
My kids loved it!!!!!! The most pickiest eaters in America loved chocolate flavored avocado pudding!!! Yes sir!!!!!
Haha this made me laugh, I love it!! If the pickiest eaters in America gave it the stamp of approval, then I’m calling that a huge win. So happy your kids loved the avocado chocolate pudding.
This is AMAZING! I made it for my daughters and one of them is extremely picky but she loves it. It made quite a bit but honestly I may make some extra for myself when I’m craving something sweet.
That makes me so happy to hear, especially winning over a picky eater! And yes, it definitely makes a generous batch… perfect excuse to stash a little extra just for you. Thanks so much for trying it.
