This yummy treat is from just one of the fifteen chapters in my new cookbook. I felt strongly that I should write an entire chapter of recipes dedicated to to Dairy AND Wheat-Free. Many people who can’t tolerate dairy also have a problem with gluten and wheat. There is no milk or cream in this pudding. All of the creaminess comes from the avocado. Lots of omega-3-fatty acids in this pudding between the chia seed and avocado. No guilt here.
I’ve updated this post to reflect my low carb lifestyle. You can easily use honey if you would like to, but obviously wouldn’t be sugar free and keto. I just love how easy and delicious this is! So light and decadent.
Avocado Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado peeled and diced
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon chia seed ground
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia or how much you'd like to sweeten you can use honey if not low carb
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

Place all ingredients in blender, mix until smooth. This will be thick and creamy just like a regular pudding!
I hope you love this as much as I do! I love how creamy and rich it is
This pudding (tot the veto version) is one of the twenty in my chapter ‘Dairy Free and Wheat Free” of my book, The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook. Please stop by your favorite book store and pick up your copy! If you like it, please leave a positive review 🙂
Is the chocolate supposed to be melted?
Hi erin 🙂 Actually no, you don’t need to melt the chocolate. You just blend it all together! Hope you like it! XO
Hi Lauren,
I love this recipe, I will try it this weekend. Also someone told me about soaking chia seeds for a few hours (maybe overnight) and blending with a chocolate flavored “green” powder. What are you thoughts on that? I haven’t tried it yet, she says the texture might be an issue??!
Hi Isabelle 🙂 yes you can soak chia seeds overnight. I am not sure what green powder is but if you try it, let me know how it turns out? XO
