"If you’ve been resisting the bad stuff, but want a great holiday treat, try my raw chocolate pudding. Avoid sugar; it depresses the immune system. Completely avoid Splenda and Nutra Sweet; both are damaging to your health."

• 2 tablespoons virgin organic coconut oil
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia*(Recommend Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme)
• 3 dates soaked in warm water for 15 minutes and chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Add ingredients to a blender or food processor in this order: oil, sweetener, dates, vanilla, avocados, cocoa powder, half the non-dairy milk, sea salt.
2. Blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add additional non-dairy milk as needed until the pudding is the consistency you want. A little on the thin side is best since it will thicken after chilling in the refrigerator.
3. Spoon into ramekins or bowls, cover and chill.
4. Top with your favorite fruits or nuts. Enjoy!
