So why is this pudding healthy?

Avocados are filled with monounsaturated fats that help aid in brain health, blood pressure and weight management. It is the perfect superfood. And thanks to its creaminess….it is perfect for pudding.

Raw Cacao: A healthy, non-processed chocolate that is as close to natural as possible (coming from the cacao bean). Since cacao is not heavily processed, it retains its flavonoids, boosts brain health and our mood. I sure do feel a lot happier after this meal!

Coconut milk is a healthy fat which contributes to smoother skin, better heart health, lowered cholesterol levels, and coconuts are also a natural antibacterial.
