It looks like poop, but...

Ok you guys, I'm not going to lie. I just can't make myself eat a plain avocado. I can't even really eat a seasoned one. If you've been reading my blog a while, you know I've tried. Darn it. I got sick to my stomach after eating some guac a few years ago (I don't know if it was the guac's fault, but that's what I'm going with) and I just can't make myself eat an avocado-y avocado. Sigh. Anywho. I do know that avocado is a super super food and, last week, I thought I'd feed some to my itty bitty six month old. To my surprise, she loved it. LOVED it. She ate a whole avocado in two days (mixed with half a banana, btw). After I mixed up a batch of her food, I decided to taste it myself. People. For baby food, it was really pretty good. Have you ever tasted the crap in the little plastic containers? Ew. Especially ham. Don't taste ham baby food. Back to my point...because I love to have LOTS of options when it comes to clean eating recipes for my family and I, I decided to give the avocado a 127th another chance.

Earlier this week, Jillian over at PaxBaby.com, posted a recipe for Chocolate Avocado Pudding on FB. I kept looking at it, kept looking, kept looking and finally picked up some more avocados last night. I whipped up half a batch this morning. Only half because, 1.) I didn't want to waste two avocados in case my non-conformist tastebuds didn't agree with it and, 2.) I didn't want to eat two avocados, by myself, in one sitting in case it was awesome. Let me just tell you something. This recipe DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I think even the most hardcore chocoholics will agree - it's delicious! I'd liken it to a more decadent pudding. It's not just your average powdered chocolate pudding. It's really so good. It could be served as a dessert to company, or on its own. I am so pleased with this recipe and I wouldn't think twice about serving it to my kids because it's totally clean. Love it!

PS. In all of the recipes I post where blending is required, I'm using a Ninja blender. We got ours at Target (and ours must be Target exclusive because I haven't seen that model anywhere else), but if you don't have one. You should TOTALLY get one. It's the best blender we've ever had. Super powerful and easy to wash/throw in the dishwasher. Mama don't mess with hand-washing traditional blenders. What a hassle. Check out the Ninja BL660 Professional Blender with Single Serve it's very similar to the one I have.

And, one last remark. Once you've made the pudding, take a picture of this poopy looking creation and text it to some of your favorite people with no further description. Trust me. It's fun. 

Have a great day everyone! Go get your super foods!
