This is one of the best ideas I’ve had in a while.
A ripe avocado lends its creamy texture to this decadent chocolate pudding–> but no one will ever guess the secret ingredient, thanks to the tart frozen cherries and rich chocolate!

As always, enjoy!
I love that pic of the frozen cherries — that is one of my favorite snacks and I love using them in smoothies.
For headaches I usually need a little nap, or it is lack of water or caffeine. But usually for me it is lack of sleep or proper rest and that is the only thing that will help my head!
mmm aroma! i really loved the chopped salad i had there the other night.
I just tried the choc-cado blueberry chip pudding for the first time tonight and I HEART IT!!
Definetly going to need to try the cherry chocolate bomb next!!
I’m kind of a sissy when I get headaches, but I agree that caffeine as well as a nap helps! You could also try putting a cold, damp washcloth on either your forehead or your eyes while you rest! Hope you feel better!!
What an awesome work out buddy you have! And I totally agree. Larabars are getting SO. MUCH. SMALLER. It’s so disappointing!
You are so creative with all your raw recipes! Love it.
Makes me giggle that you ran and got your camera before you cleaned it up. I would so do the same thing. Bloggers are a unique breed, eh? 
Sorry about the spill.
That pudding looks delicious! We love Kristen’s cherry bomb smoothie and now as a pudding that is even better
My workout buddy is a bride to be…nothing like “Want to look great in my dress” motivation to keep a gal active huh??
aw bummer, i cant believe you lost your coffee to the kitchen floor! is that aroma the one in the valley? if yes, it’s one of my absolute favorite spots!!! i love their tofu wild rice bowls
thats my one beef with larabars! they are so small. 4 bites and you are done!
It is most def dehydration! You know me, I am a water freak and yes this causes headaches!
The funny thing is people may drink boat loads of tap water thinking they are hydrated but because tap water (and most other crappy bottled waters) have so many toxins in them that the body doesn’t absorb all the good water that well. PHEW! There is my speech for ya
I think you are being a wonderful brides maid over there!! I can’t wait to see pics
xxoo
Ever since I saw a recipe for raw chocolate mousse pie made with avocado I’ve been meaning to make an avocado dessert. That looks amazing!
Usually when I have a headache it means I’ve either been staring at my computer screen for too long or haven’t had enough caffeine. I don’t even drink that much caffeine, but if I don’t have my one cup in the morning I’ll usually get one! If it’s caused by the computer it’s easy enough to cure as long as I’m not at work. It’s impossible to get away from it at the office.
I get dehydration headaches pretty often. I usually drink a little coconut water or gatorade followed by tons of water and it helps. If that doesn’t work, I try stretching. Sounds weird but it usually works for me to release some tension and stretching is perfect for that!
I totally would pay to go to that wedding to see you hubs in a dress! LOL
I’m totally getting a vita mix thanks a lot to you. I’m actually not a smoothie girl but I love me some pudding! headaches? well in yoga we learned about certain poses that relieve the blood flow to you head like shoulder stand. Also, I find that having a green apple always works, and yes, it has to be a green one. Something about the skin is supposed to help relive the pain. Sometimes, I think we are just tired and all we need is a good nap.
thanks for all your support and comments the past few
i havent tried the cherry bomb yet but the fact that you pudding-ized it..nice
YUM!
have a great weeekend hon!

Frozen fruit is truly one of the secrets to a great smoothie. I used mango today- mmm.

Hi! The recipe for the cherry chocolate pudding sounds great! Can’t wait to try it.
Before you get another headache, see if you can find a good aromatherapist. Mine mixed up an all natural headache oil for me and I rub some on my hands and just breathe it in. I’m sure the deep breaths don’t hurt either. If you can’t find someone, I’m sure Lisa would be happy to mail some to you. lissettemassage.com She also made me a wake up oil that I sniff in the morning if I’m really having trouble waking up. I’ve been using it more since I quit coffee, which I know you are trying to do!

Wow that was amazing pudding! I couldn’t help myself though, I used agave after going back and forth between that and organic maple syrup. My husband will go for the stevia I’m sure. As for the headaches I’ve heard rubbing a good pure Peppermint essential oil like Young Living on your temples and back of neck may help. I also have my family inhale it from the bottle when they are nauseated or headachey.
YUM!!!!!!! Your pudding sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!!

This looks sooo good! I eat avocados practically everyday and I love finding new ways to prepare them! Also – I just stumbled on your site and I am in love with it! I have been eating clean for about 5 months now (not really needing to lose weight, I just wanted to feel better and most importantly, gain energy to keep up with my 15 month old daughter!). Every single recipe I’ve found on here sounds great and is so unique. I’ve tried a few and they’ve all been great, this one is next on my list! Again, thank you so much! People really need to know that eating well can be easy AND delicious! LOVE your blog : )
