Notes
For my superfoods, I used Nuts.com – because they have a certified gluten-free section that measures at 5ppm. // My favorite brand of pink salt is Himalasalt – but you can also use sea salt. // If you want your avocado pudding to be sugar-free, eliminate the maple syrup and use 4 drops of stevia. // If you cannot get access to TigerNut milk, get my recipe here or feel free using another plant-based milk other then hemp seed milk.

This is a great breakfast idea. Complete on macros too, good carbs, protein and fats! Perfect combo, I can't wait to make it.

Wow, I never thought of a veggie chocolate pudding, but, gosh, only the look of it! It just crossed my mind that the powder we use for pudding is probably made out of veggies (I know for sure it contains starch), only that is processed to the point it becomes a white powder. I prefer your healthier method way more!

You had me at sweet potatoes and chocolate! I'm typically a little suspicious of this type of smoothie, but this one sounds absolutely luscious. And the photos are AWESOME.

It's all about cooking the sweet potato, butternut squash, or starches in the smoothies. The combo works, but it took work to make it work hahaha!

OK I have never thought of making a smoothie with sweet potato! Such a great idea! We love avocado pudding, so I think this would be a total hit for us!
Julie Rosenthal
cooked but frozen sweet potato is AMAZING, you def have to try it. It works well as an avocado pudding base too instead of the avocado.
