I know that avocado is a fruit but have always enjoyed it as a vegetable. So you can imagine my surprise (and delight!) when I came across this recipe for Chocolate Pudding. I'm always excited to find new ways to indulge in chocolate without feeling guilty. If the base of this pudding is avocado then I figure it's practically a meal, not just dessert! Only four ingredients too so it's super easy to make.

I'm so excited about the cupcakes I made today. Yummiest little treats ever and they are sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free to boot.

But these cupcakes didn't last 24hrs in our house.

So, I present to you some food for thought. No really, here’s a recipe.

Submitted by julia on January 28, 2011 - 00:08

Making your own nut milk is really fun and easy. Actually, not only is it easy, but it is also a great way to avoid all the starchy fillers in commercially made nut/soy milks, maximize nutrient availability, and save money. You can also feel really good about it regardless if your goal is to avoid dairy, or optimize your diet for fertility, pregnancy, or healing your gut!
