Chocolate avocado fruit dip might just be one of my favorite kid foods to whip up! My kids are dippers and I can usually get them to eat any fruit or vegetable if they can dip it into something yummy. Most fruit dips at the store include a hefty dose of high-fructose corn syrup! We do not need to be eating that, it has been linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (among a long list of other illnesses)!
When I came across a pudding recipe that included fruit right in the recipe, I decided that this would make a great dip. Oh boy was I right. My kids LOVE Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip! Plus, this recipe is full of antioxidants (cocoa), healthy fats (avocado and coconut oil), minerals (sea salt), and it’s even anti-bacterial (honey)! Dip on kids, dip on…
Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip
Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup raw honey — where to find
- 1/4 cup fair trade organic cocoa powder — where to find
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil — where to find
- Pinch of sea salt
Directions:
- Throw all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy, like a chocolate pudding
- Serve Chocolate Avocado Fruit Dip with fruit
- Beware, this is so addicting!!!

January 16, 2014 at 10:12 ami’ve noticed flavor of avocados differs depending on ripeness, what degree of ripeness do you think would be best for this since i usually only use avos for guac and savory dishes. also i’m in florida have you ever used the florida large green avos this way they generally aren’t as creamy?

January 16, 2014 at 2:24 pmI use them at the ripeness I would make my guac. I do not like it when they have brown spots. They have to be at peak ripeness for a creamy, almost buttery pudding/dip
