As you change your eating habits from unhealthy to wholesome, finding desserts that are low in natural sugars will facilitate your results. It will take some time for your taste buds to adjust from enjoying intense, refined sugars to appreciating the subtly and delight of natural, wholesome sugar found in fruit.
This pudding is a spectacular way to enjoy creamy chocolate while avoiding refined sugars entirely. The avocado, banana and dates provide real, usable nutrients and vitamins while pleasing your sweet tooth. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more dates (for sweeter) or by removing the dates and using a touch of liquid stevia (for lower sugar). Enjoy!
