This pudding is full of good fats, which help our body lose weight and stay healthy. Each cell membrane in our body is made of fats, we need to eat good fats for each and every cell to be healthy.
CACAO POWDER
Cacao powder is full of minerals with the highest source of magnesium of all foods. Magnesium helps reduce stress and is used to relax muscles. Cacao has high antioxidants, and excellent source of monounsaturated fats, cholesterol-free saturated fats, vitamins, protein and a more fibre and calories than cocoa powder and more bioavailable. Healthy superfood!
COCONUT BUTTER
Coconut butter contains all the rich coconut fats, fibre and nutrients. It is delicious on toast, pancakes, frosting for squares or cakes or drizzled on top of vegetables for that coconut taste. If you don’t have coconut butter you can easily make it, buy it or use coconut oil in this recipe. Here is Minimalist Baker’s version of coconut butter recipe.
AVOCADO
Avocado’s are so delicious and so nutrient-dense, they are a must in our weekly meals. So creamy, that it is useful for this pudding and smoothies. There are so many health benefits, here are 12 health benefits outlined by Medical News Today.
