Chocolate Chia Orange Pudding

Chocolate Chia Orange Pudding

Note about the sweetness factor. In my opinion, 2 tablespoons of honey are more than enough; but that’s between you and your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Serves 2

¾ cup freshly pressed orange juice

2 to 3 tablespoons raw organic honey (or maple syrup)

1 ripe avocado (I used Haas avocado)

½ cup raw cocoa powder

1 teaspoon ground chia seeds

Orange zest and cocoa nibs for topping.

Directions

In a blender (or food processor) combine orange juice, honey, avocado, cocoa and chia seeds.

Blend until smooth and silky — you may need to stop the blender and mix with a spoon from time to time, to help the blending process.

Divide pudding among ramekins/cups and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this allows the chia to thicken).

Top with orange zest before serving.
