It feels so good to be posting another blog post again! I just have so many recipes that I want to share with you, but I have to pace myself. I realized just yesterday that Valentines day is upon us and I wanted to make a little something special. I believe that Valentines day doesn't have to spent with a significant other, it's like any other holiday. You spend it with the people that you love. But, in the spirit I have for you today a recipe for Chocolate strawberry avocado pudding!
So why avocado of all things you may ask? Well avocado's are amazing for adding a great consistency to any recipe, along with all their health benefits! I tend to use avocados with my eggs, pasta, or salads. I never thought to use them in a dessert. That's when I concocted this recipe for a rich and creamy pudding. Oh yeah, did I mention it can also be made vegan! I know it's such a treat.
Ingredients:

| These are the base ingredients! |
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 2 tbsp honey (or for a vegan option use maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil solid at room temperature
- a splash of almond or soy milk
- 1-2 large strawberries
- sliced almonds (optional)
Directions:
- Begin by slicing the avocado in half, and taking out the pit.
- Scoop out all of the avocado into a food processor
- Add your honey or maple syrup, coconut oil. Blend for 30 seconds.
- Using a spoon scrape whatever powder is left on the sides and blend again for another 30 seconds. I added a little almond milk as well.
