Delicious Chocolate Pudding…DSP Style!

Chocolate? Did Isabel really just say chocolate?

Oh yes I did and, not only that, it’s healthy too!

I got this delicious chocolate recipe from my good friend Mike Geary (author of The Truth About Abs).

Here’s Mike’s recipe for an amazingly healthy fat burning chocolate pudding that’s high in fiber, healthy fats, protein and low in sugar, with NO artificial sweeteners and NO added sugars.

Mike Geary’s Healthy Chocolate Pudding

(This recipe will make about 2-3 servings and is a great healthy dessert or late night snack.)

Ingredients
1/2 of a ripe avocado (soft to touch)
approx 3 tablespoons of almond butter (preferably raw if possible)
approx 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
2 heaping tablespoons of organic cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 or 2 packets of stevia (or to your desired sweetness level)
1/2 to 3/4 of a scoop of chocolate protein powder
just a small pinch of salt

Directions
Put the avocado and almond butter into a bowl and mash together with a fork until smooth. Then add all of the other ingredients into the bowl and mix together vigorously until all is mixed and smooth.

If everything went right, the consistency will be similar to pudding… except normal pudding makes you FAT with loads of sugar! My healthy pudding recipe will actually HELP you to burn fat, control cravings, and satisfy your body’s need for micro-nutrients, protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

If the pudding ends up too thick, simply add a bit more almond milk or coconut milk for more moisture.

If you want to get a little wild and add some more nutrient-rich additions, feel free to add some chopped pecans, chia seeds, rice bran, or walnuts at the end.

Mike is not only great when it comes to coming up with awesome healthy recipes, he’s also a master when it comes to designing fat burning workouts:
