Inspired by 2 other bloggers this week (Vegan Richa and Laura from Petit Allergy Treats) I got in the kitchen and came out with something amazing.
First of all, I LOVE Vegan Richa, she's awesome! I started out making one of her dishes (cauliflower hot wings) and took a few turns, ending up with General Tso's Veg...which was truly glorious take-out nostalgia in my mouth! :)
Then, I was toying around with Laura's chocolate avocado truffles and made a few changes resulting in some great chocolate pudding. I wanted something with much less caffeine and much less acidic (so less cocoa) for my little one, but I also want something healthier my husband will gladly enjoy instead of just eating handfuls of vegan chocolate chips. (which likely have GMO soy lecithin in them) So I have 2 versions of pudding...
The first one, by best estimate contains about 6 mg of caffeine per 1/2 batch which should be almost 1/2 cup depending on the size of your avocado. That is the same amount of caffeine as 1/2 cup of chocolate ice cream. (source, source)
Avocados are one of the healthiest foods you can eat, packed with tons of alkaline mineral salts, chlorophyll, healthy fats, 13 vitamins, and 11 minerals! Here is more nutrition info on the avocado - eat as many of them as you can as part of an alkaline diet!
Enjoy!!!

I grabbed my camera to take pictures of the delicious pudding, but by the time I got over to the bowl of pudding, it was gone! :)
