Chilled Chocolate Raspberry Pudding
Yields: 2 servings (1 serving = 1/2 cup)
INGREDIENTS
1 banana (frozen <-- when your fresh banana is ripe, remove/discard peel and slice banana into fourths. Store sliced banana in a sealed baggie and freeze for at least 24-48 hours before using in this recipe.)

1/2 avocado (peeled and de-seeded)
2 tbsp cacao powder
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Stevia or your preferred sweetener (to taste)
Cinnamon (to taste)
Sea salt (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
Combine banana and raspberries in a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until smooth.
Add avocado, cacao powder, vanilla extract, sweetener and sea salt. Process until smooth.
Spoon mixture evenly into two small glasses or bowls (each approximately measuring 1/2 cup)
Optional: Top with garnish(es) -- e.g. chia seeds, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, fresh raspberries
Serve immediately and enjoy!
