I rarely eat chocolate without peanut butter. The two just go hand in hand. So it was a no brainer to add a healthy spoonful into this creamy, rich, nutritionally-dense pudding. Nutritionally dense, you say? Yes!
Avocados are rich in healthy fats, folate, carotenoids and are extremely heart healthy.Bananas provide Vitamin B6, potassium, fiber and natural sweetness.Chocolate provides antioxidants and magnesium.And peanut butter adds protein and even more healthy fats.
That’s one healthy bowl of pudding, yo. The great thing about this pudding – besides its immensely rich texture and chocolate flavor – is that it’s naturally sweetened with dates. Of course, you can substitute whatever other natural sweetener you prefer – maple syrup and agave being ideal. It’s also customizable. If you prefer an intense chocolate flavor, add less sweetener. And if you’re like me, you like your pudding on the sweeter side and will prefer adding more. It’s extremely forgiving and flexible in this way. And did I mention rich? In my opinion, the coconut whipped cream and additional peanut butter on top are essential. It adds another level of decadence and wave of flavor that just brings it all together. Please follow my example. You guys are going to LOVE this pudding.
