This is a recipe in my Repeater Recipe series, a series of posts where I feature previously posted recipes that show up often in our meal rotation. It’s also a good chance to introduce some ‘classic’ recipes to my new readers.

I had forgotten about this recipe until a few weeks ago when, stocking up on avocados (one perk of Super Bowl Week grocery specials), I got home and then wondered just what I was going to do with 6 ripe avocados. One can only eat so much guacamole. If one is me, than that one can eat a LOT of guacamole, but still, some variety is nice. I also had several ripe bananas and somehow, out of the dusty corners of my mind, I remembered this pudding.
I ate it twice last week and am planning on it again this week. It’s always a good time for pudding. This pudding has an incredibly creamy texture. It’s not ultra rich or decadent, so if you are going for a sinful tasting dessert, this isn’t your recipe. But, if you are looking for an everyday treat that is slightly sweet and has just enough chocolate flavor to satisfy a craving, this is a good one. My kids love it as a dip for fruit and graham crackers.
Chocolate Avocado Banana Pudding
Creamy and fresh – a great mid-afternoon snack. It doesn’t taste like a decadent dessert, but is great for a everyday snack. It’s also a great dip for graham crackers and bananas.
