CHOCOLATE CHIA PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the cocoa powder in the blender. Microwave 1 cup of water for 1 minute then add to the blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
• Add the maple syrup, chia seeds, avocado, vanilla extract and salt plus 1 cup of water to the blender and blend on high for 45 seconds.
• Slowly stream in the coconut oil with the blender still running. Continue to blend on high until the pudding homogenizes, about 1 minute more.
• Transfer to a resealable container and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The pudding will continue to set up as it cools. You can also dose the pudding into individual serving containers then cover and cool.
