Avocado Chocolate Treat

This isn’t new and you have likely seen it around before, maybe even tasted it or made it yourself. This is a good reminder to be healthy, ditch the ice cream, block of chocolate or other guilty pleasure and whip this up for yourself, and if you are the sharing type I can guarantee no one will be able to say no to this.

I made this because I had a pile of very ripe avocados from my Aunt’s tree sitting there going bad and I didn’t want to waste them. That, and it is Spring so I decided it is time to eat a little better again. Oh, and my toddler keeps chanting ‘sweet treat’ at me and looking at me with her beautiful big blue eyes and I just don’t want to give in and give her junk but it is so hard to say no to her sometimes. Enter delicious avocado chocolate treat that is deliciously guilt free.

 

This is pretty easy that you don’t really need a recipe as such. Just grab:

3 Avocados
1 Banana
2 tablespoons of Raw Cacao Powder (you could use normal cocoa powder if that’s what you have but the benefits of raw cacao are that it isn’t roasted so the living enzymes are intact and there is no fat in it – blah blah blah – it’s better for you, ok!)
2 tablespoons of Honey (if you like it really sweet you could add more honey)

 

Pop all of your ingredients into your food processor or other such marvellous mixing machine and whip it until smooth and creamy. (If I had the time I would have whipped this for longer to get it smoother but I had a hangry toddler on my leg!) If you can manage it, sit it in the fridge a bit before eating it so it gets nice and cold. Serve on its own or with a big bowl of strawberries, or other scrumptious food stuffs, for dipping.

It takes just a minute to make and is full of nutritious goodness like potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin C, fibre, heart-healthy fats and a stack of other stuff. And it is no egg, no nuts, no dairy, no this that or the other so everyone can enjoy it. Essentially it is safe to say that this is a guilt free way to enjoy something sweet.
