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.
