Chocolate Avocado Pudding

  I haven't posted in awhile.  In the past few months I have changed jobs.  I am now on a set schedule but the first couple months I felt like I was working all day.  Another change I have made is how I eat.  I have started using myfitnesspal.com to count my calorie intake.  In the past four months I have lost over 40 pounds.  Some of the recipes I will be sharing will now be healthier.

  I still love desserts and snacks.  This first healthier recipe is a dessert.  I know the name may make you want to click this post closed, but don't.  I made this a couple weeks ago.  It is very good.  It makes four servings at 140 calories per serving.  Your calorie counts may be a little different depending on what brands you use.  This recipe comes from cookingwithjax.com.

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 Tbsp maple syrup (or liquid honey)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 Tbsp milk of choice
shaved chocolate or raspberries for garnish

Put all into blender until smooth.

**I used almond milk to cut some calories.
**I didn't use any garnish on mine.
