No Sugar Added Easy Avocado Pudding

Print

Everyone knows the trick of adding avocado to chocolate pudding, but I’m taking it one step further. Not only does this treat have a healthy secret ingredient, but it’s completely sweetened by fruit… and still tastes like dessert, not a salad!

The trick is to use banana and dates, the latter being pureed into a paste that yields not just sweetness but a nice, creamy texture. In the past I always just threw my dates into the food processor and tried to process them into oblivion, but both soaking and boiling them first really helps them soften and break down smoothly.

Make sure both your banana and avocado are nice and ripe and you’re good to go for this one! While it tastes great right when it’s made, you’ll be amazed how well it firms up after a few hours in the fridge. Try to be patient and it will be even better.

Further Food Commentary:

This "dessert" will absolutely trick your guests into believing they are indulging! With the help of dates and bananas, you can naturally sweeten without all the processed sugar. Bananas and avocados are also chock full of potassium which go hand and hand with heart health. For starters, potassium has been shown to decrease blood pressure and help fix irregular heart beats. I would definitely add this sweet treat to your dessert staples!

    So many of your recipes rely on almonds(milk, butter, etc). I’m allergic to almonds, but not other nuts. What do you suggest I use to replace the items with almonds?

    I know this has a good amount of fiber, and is shown as ‘no sugar added’ but it’s really deceiving for some people. This has 45g of sugar!!! that’s as much as I intake in an entire day from foods. I’m sure this is a great treat once in a while but watch out people for dates and bananas as main ingredients if you are trying to cut down your sugar. It’s still sugar.

      Hi Rachel:
      Thanks for the comment. This is a dessert recipe, so like all “desserts” it should be eaten in moderation. Have you tried our 7 day sugar detox? We provide a meal plan with recipes (no dates).
