Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • microwave
  • food processor

Ingredients

SMOOTHIE BASE INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup frozen sweet potato chunks cooked + frozen
  • ½ cup frozen cauliflower florets raw
  • 1 ½ tablespoon sunbutter or almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 2 teaspoon flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon pure maple syrup optional
  • 1.5-2 tablespoon raw cacao powder
  • 1 ½ cups Tiger Nut milk or plant milk of choice
  • 1 cup ice
  • ½ cup optional: additional plant milk if needed
  • 1 teaspoon optional: chia seeds for garnish

CHOCOLATE PUDDING INGREDIENTS:

  • ¾ whole medium-sized avocado, ripe
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE INGREDIENTS:

  • ¼ cup gluten-free chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

SMOOTHIE BASE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • In a high-speed blender first blast 1 cup plant milk with the frozen cauliflower till liquid.
  • Then add the frozen sweet potato and addition ½ cup plant milk, and blast until smooth.
  • Add all remaining smoothie ingredients except the ice and blast until well blended. The texture should NOT be grainy. If it is you'll need to blend longer. You can also add additional milk if it's too thick.
  • Once blended to your desired consistency add the ice and blast again.
  • Store in the fridge or freezer while you make the pudding.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Using a food processor add the avocado flesh, the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and the pink salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Process until pudding like consistency and then either put into a disposable pastry bag (get it here), or set aside in a dish.

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • In a microwave melt ¼ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips at 15-30 second intervals, mixing each interval with a spoon until it forms into a liquid.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, then add UP to 1 ½ tablespoons of coconut oil. Using a spoon add teaspoon by teaspoon till you get the desired drippy consistency.  Mix well.

ASSEMBLY:

  • Remove the smoothie from the freezer/fridge and using a disposable pastry bag with the bottom cut straight across at the tip or at an angle (for piping purposes) pipe chocolate pudding on top of the smoothie.
  • Then drizzle melted chocolate on top with a spoon.  Top with additional chia seeds as sprinkles.

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!

      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.
