    I've been adding 50g avocado into my smoothies because I ran out of coconut oil, it's 80 calories, which is similar to the coconut oil. But you get better nutrients from the avocado than the oil.

    I am eating avocado chocolate pudding using the recipe below as inspiration and it is AMAZING!

    I put my own spin on it and used a banana, an avocado, 1 tbps cocoa powder, 2 squares of melted unsweetened chocolate, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, a little peanut butter + coconut oil, 2 dates and a little honey (no stevia), dash of cinnamon and salt, blend in my Nutribullet and yes...this is something I will be adding to my rotation.

    It is calorific (I need the calories for today's workouts) but I will be trying another recipe later in the week without the added items.

    It's chocolatey, filling, creamy and full of goodness. Thanks again for posting! :smiley:

    Edited to add...this will give me about 3 servings. Not sure how well it will hold up, but hopefully I can have one for dessert later and again in the morning. Will cut the recipe in half in the future.
