As I mentioned yesterday, I have been craving avocado puddings. I had a busy day at the bakery, and for lunch I needed something that:
- was quick to make
- kept me full
- gave me energy
So I combined two of my favorite things : avocado + vega protein powder
Pure2raw Recipe: Avocado Protein Pudding
Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 scoop vega protein powder (or any protein powder)
- bunch of kale
- water, around 1/4 -1/2 cup
Directions:
Blend avocado with kale till smooth, add enough water to help it blend.
Next stir in your protein powder.
Add any flavor additions to taste.
I added 5 drops of stevia, with 1/ 4 tsp mint, and about 2 tbsp cacao nibs.
Perfect meal in a bowl!

I made something like this not too long ago and loved it. I add coco powder to mine simply to hide the green color, lol. But it did taste great and was filling.
Awesome picture by the way!

This is the first time I have heard about avocado pudding and I hope this can be delicious for my husband since he is running a lot.. This looks yummy as well!

Thallia, avocado puddings are great! A quick easy meal to digest, if you are making this for your husband and since he is active you want to throw in a banana in, as it will help him recover from his runs even more.
This is a MUST-TRY!!! Thanks for sharing this!

For the “bunch” of kale are you using the whole bunch you get from the store or a handful bunch? Ty
