Tripping into victory.

In the picture above, see how the avocados still have a bit of the stem on them? If avocados are picked with a little bit of stem, they rippen evenly all the way through. No more dark ring around where the stem was, just an even shade of green. Cool!
Living on a farm with acres of Avocados, it was about time to make something other than guacamole & avocado toast. Inspired by one of our WWOOFers, John decided to experiment with an Avocado Smoothie.
He totally nailed it. Coconut Milk, Almond Milk, Ice, Dates – it was delicious. So delicious, in fact, that we each ate 2 glassfuls and then proceeded to clutch our stomaches and groan for the next four hours in a state of overstuffed anguish. We learned from experience that Avocados are to be enjoyed in moderation.
But that smoothie was too delicious to be banished forever. After some mulling, I took out the ice, thickened it with a little more coconut milk and turned it from a smoothie to a pudding. Puddings mean dessert, and dessert (should) mean moderation. Whereas I overindulged with about 3 cups of the smoothie, I only seem to need about 3/4 cup of the pudding to be completely satisfied.
Avocado season is coming to a close, and I’m telling you, this pudding is worth fitting in before it does. Rich, creamy and naturally sweet, it takes under 5 minutes to make. And, it’s GREEN, which could make for an adorable Halloween dessert.
