Oh my goodness… My entire family is in love with this “no-guilt” Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Pudding!
This decadent pudding is Creamy and Smooth, but it is so Healthy that even babies can enjoy this as a meal! ☺
The Avocado and Raw Cacao in this yummy recipe create a treat full of healthy protein and antioxidants! By adding Raspberries and Nibs on top, big kids like me can take this Chocolate Pudding to a super decadent level! 🍇

🍘 2 Tbsp Coconut Nectar (or Maple syrup, Agave)
🍘 1 ½ Ripe Bananas (not too ripe)
🍘 ¹/8 teaspoon Sea Salt
🍘 ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
🍘 1 ½ teaspoons Vanilla extract
🍘 ¼ – ½ Cup Coconut Milk (or Rice, Almond, Soy)
5 Yummy Secret Tips:
* Cinnamon is optional, but so healthy & yummy!
* Milk is optional, omit or reduce for thicker pudding. Add more milk if too thick.
* For more Chocolate taste, use Vegan Chocolate Milk instead of plain vegan milk!
* Add 2-3 Medjool Dates if you want more sweetness! Nectar & Dates can be omitted for less sugar content.
* Tofu instead of Avocado is another option. (We like Avocado best 🙂
3 Easy Instructions:
1) Place all ingredients in Food processor or Blender.
2) Blend/Process until it is all smooth & creamy.
3) Transfer to a bowl and allow to set in fridge for 1 hour +.
Chocolate Pudding Garnish:
🍇 Raspberries are a healthy & yummy topping!
🍇 Raw Cacao Nibs add a fun & healthy texture!
🍇 Rice Whipped Cream is a fun creamy twist!
🍊 Orange Zest in/on top is another Yummy idea with a punch!
Raspberries are considered a Super-Fruit and really carry a lot of healing power in every little berry. Like Cacao, the Raspberry is filled with yummy but healthy antioxidants!
According to a study in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry” published in 2003, antioxidants are especially concentrated in cocoa, a product of cacao beans.
In this study, researchers compared the antioxidant capacity of black tea, green tea, red wine and cocoa, concluding that cocoa has the highest antioxidant activity among the four products and the greatest potential for health benefits.
Woohoo!!! 😆☺☺☺
Yay! This means you can enjoy this decadent treat for breakfast or dessert! Your entire family will love every yummy healthy bite! ☺
Let me know if you have any other interesting twists!

Welcome back Amigos! I have a question for you, how much water do you and your kids ACTUALLY drink? As a child, I primarily drank Tea, Kool-Aid and occasional Water. I do remember adults occasionally stating the importance of water, but I didn’t take it seriously, nor did I understand how to make it a priority. 
Today, Nephrologists (Kidney Doctors), report that more than ever, there is a high demand for Pediatric Nephrologists (Kidney Doctor for Kids & Teens). This is due to kids being diagnosed with PAINFUL Kidney & Urinary Stones, which are often caused by a lack of water and junk food! Today, kids & teens have so many drink choices, why should they drink boring old water?
Hydrating Thoughts:
The chart above may seem like a lot of water, but it really isn’t. Remember, 60% of your body is made of water, so it is critical that children’s water is replenished on a daily basis.
Can a child be drinking too much water? It is possible for someone to drink too much water (hyponatremia), but it is very rare, and mostly happens to people who are extreme athletes.
The above chart is only a guideline, it is important you adjust your kid’s water consumption if you live in a very hot/humid climate, if they are athletes or have a medical condition. This Organic fruit & herb infused water recipe is a great way to always have great tasting water!
♥ ½ Cup Sliced Lemons
♥ ½ Cup Sliced Strawberries
♥ ¾ Medium Cucumber, Sliced
♥ ¼ Cup of Mint Leaves
♥ 1 Quart of Fresh Spring Water
♥ USE ALL ORGANIC FOOD
♥ Prepare & Slice Fruits, Veggies, Herbs
♥ Place Your Mix at the Bottom of Jar
♥ Pour Your Water over the Mix
♥ Chill in your Fridge or Serve Room Temp.
♦ Optional: Use a wooden spoon to squash fruit at the bottom of jar before adding water.
This infusion is so Yummy Yummy and it’s so fun to make together with your family. Stay hydrated Amigos, I look forward to you visiting again! Sending Love & Light! ~ Dr. Dee
Raw and Naked… Coconut is an Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic… truly one of nature’s super-food miracles!
There are at least 17,000 studies describing the medicinal and nutritional effects of Coconut and Coconut oil on health. Over and over again various physicians, researchers, biologist, nutritionist and even pharmaceutical companies have all come to the same conclusion… Coconut is no foe, it can help so many aspects of our health!
Why and how can Coconut have so many medicinal properties? The short answer is that every part of the Coconut has it’s own unique healing gifts. Today, I will be focused on how Coconut Oil was found to be composed predominantly of a Healthy family of fats called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and Keytones.
It is amazing that although Coconut Oil has a long history of nutritional and medicinal uses for thousands of years, Western Medicine continues to use pharmaceutical drugs and over the counter drugs that do not have the same proven medicinal results. Over the last 80 years, there are Zero documented injuries from using Coconut Oil, however, the estimated deaths/injuries as a result of pharmaceuticals is astronomical.

Coconut Oil can specifically help address various health issues such as:
What is it about Coconut Oil that gives it such healing properties? Upon consumption of MCTs, the MCTs digest very rapidly and begin breaking down immediately. As a result of MCTs already being completely separated into individual fatty acids, they do not need pancreatic digestive enzymes or bile for digestion, thus relieving stress on the digestive system.
Due to Coconut Oils/MCTs already being in the form of fatty acids when they enter the small intestine, they are immediately absorbed and sent directly to the liver. This allows our liver to automatically metabolize the MCTs into energy. Some of the MCTs are used up for energy, the remaining MCTs are used by the brain and other bodily tissue. Researchers have discovered that MCTs have the ability to heal various disease-causing bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.
MCTs can be used topically and internally as antimicrobial agents to prevent and ward off infectious diseases. Many common disease-causing microbes as well as potentially deadly ones like HIV and drug-resistant bacteria are very vulnerable to MCTs. In addition, Coconut Oil can help address all of the diseases I listed above.

Are you living on inhalers, antibiotics, steroids, antidepressants, sleeping pills, allergy meds and more? There is hope for you! Examine every aspect of your life. Read every single label of every single food, every single product, every single material in your house. What are you eating, breathing and wearing that can harm you? In the mean time, Coconut Oil, Coconut Water, Coconut Meat and Coconut Milk are bringing relief to people around the world.
There are thousands of people who report that Coconut has changed their lives for the better. So many pharmaceutical medications may show promising results in laboratory settings, yet in real life, these meds can prove dangerous and do more harm than good. Coconut oil has proven it’s nutritional & healing properties in real life!
Here is a great Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free and Deelicious recipe that contains Coconut Meat & Coconut Oil… It’s so YummyYummyBaby!
Coconut Ceviche Ingredients:
As seen above:
Instructions:
First cut open the Coconut, drink the awesome Coconut water, then scoop out the meat with a spoon.
Second, cut the coconut meat to your liking, then in a Large Bowl Mix in all of the Cucumber, 1/2 the onions, One tomato, 1/2 the Cilantro and All of the Juice from the Lemons and Limes and the Oil. Next, Cover and set in your fridge to Marinade for 1-2 hours.
Third, when you are ready to serve it, mix in the Sea Salt, Pepper, Cilantro, the remaining Onion, the remaining Tomato, and the Avocado.
Lastly, taste it and see if you need more Lime/Lemon Juice… You are gonna need a lot of self control to not eat it all! 😉
If going to a party, I use the shelled coconuts as my serving dishes… I didn’t take a picture but it is a fabulous display piece and catches everyone’s eye 🙂
I serve it with my favorite gluten free chips and watch all the people devour it! 🙂 You will get all sorts of questions like what kind of fish is this… it’s Deelicious… and also, how do you cut open a Coconut?!?
There are many ways to do it, but I use the bottom edge of a Meat Cleaver while striking the coconut in a circular pattern. I am a small framed woman, if I can do it… you can do it! It’s really easy once you get the hang of it! 🙂
Looking forward to hearing how much you enjoyed this Coconut Ceviche Appetizer…
Coconut Is Definitely Your Friend… best of all… it’s Yummy Yummy Baby!
