I had to have minor surgery on my mouth this week, so to avoid crawling into a dark slimy cave I decided to make some noms I could eat without causing too much discomfort. This was the perfect opportunity to try that chocolate avocado pudding that's been haunting my Pinterest feed. Love me some vegan desserts.
So this is basically the easiest pudding I've ever made. And I am going to be anti-American for a second and say that this shit tastes WAY better than Jell-O chocolate pudding. And it is also WAY better for you, seeing as it is completely free of nasty chemicals and artificial sugars and flavors. The avocado provides protein and healthy fats and the cacao packs a powerful superfood punch of antioxidants and energy. I wont tell you that you could eat this for breakfast... but you totally could. Top some oatmeal with it. Sprinkle some granola and berries on top. Put it on top of pancakes, or inside crepes... Okay, I'll stop.

I think I'll go watch Two Towers now, while nomming my preciousss... I mean, my pudding.
