December 15, 2015 by Christine Curran Leave a Comment

This chocolate pudding green smoothie is a great alternative to hot chocolate on a cozy winter afternoon! Now obviously we’re using the term ‘green’ a bit loosely here: this smoothie looks about as green as any chocolate pudding. But with a handful of swiss chard and a helping of avocado, it’s got plenty of green goodness in it, too.

This isn’t the first time we’ve shared with you a recipe which is a the smoothie version of something else. And it probably won’t be the last. Because smoothie versions of other things are so darn fun, easy, tasty, and even healthful! So enjoy a gulp today.

Avocado Chocolate Pudding

Chocolate pudding! When was the last time you had chocolate pudding? As a kid, there was nothing like it. A little bit of chocolate pudding in the lunch box was always such a superlative delight.

Sadly, pudding gets a bit of a bad rap. Too often we think of the variety that comes in packs of plastic cups. Sure they might be tasty, but so much garbage — inside and out!

Not the case with this Avocado Chocolate Pudding! Your inner child will love the chocolaty sweetness, and your mature self will feel great about the health benefits of chocolate and avocado!

Raw Apple Sauce

There’s nothing as simple and wholesome as apple sauce. We all loved it as kids, yet we seem so rarely to take advantage of it as adults. Maybe it’s time to feed that inner child!

Lots of people think you have to cook apples to make a delicious sauce. Not so! With the magic of a food processor, you can whip of a batch of soft, creamy and delicious apple sauce in less time and with less effort than by cooking. And you get to enjoy all the nutritional benefits of raw, natural apples!

This recipe is a great way to use up bruised or aging apples. Some of the more progressively-minded grocery stores out there also sell those $1 bags of imperfect produce. This recipe is perfect for that! Who could say no to a whole pot of natural, fresh apple sauce for just $1?

Tropical Cilantro Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are awesome. All the goodness of fruit plus the nutrient density of dark greens! This tropical green smoothie’s got a bit of a twist, with a healthy dose of cilantro adding a bit of a spicy kick to the mix.

Not everyone likes cilantro. This is an unfortunate and curious biological fact. Other people seem like they can’t get enough of it. But don’t worry, if cilantro isn’t you thing, this smoothie still rocks without it. You could substitute a little bit of jalapeno if you want a slightly different take on a spicy tropical green smoothie.

This is a particularly awesome breakfast smoothie. Super nutritious way to start your day, plus the invigorating aroma of cilantro!
