Ingredients

Bananas, honey, vanilla and cocoa powder team up to make this pudding taste like pure chocolate bliss with none of the avocado flavor! Check the recipe card below for exact amounts:

Bananas : a naturally sweet and creamy base. The riper the bananas, the less likely you'll need to add honey since they'll naturally sweeten the pudding.
Avocados : adds creamy richness and a dose of healthy fats.
Unsweetened cocoa powder: for a rich, chocolate flavor without extra sugar.
Honey: a natural sweetener to round out the flavors.
Vanilla extract: enhances the chocolate and ties everything together.
Fruit garnish (optional): a mix of fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries adds a refreshing, juicy contrast to the creamy, chocolatey flavor of the pudding.

Why this Pudding is Healthy

This avocado pudding is packed with nutrients but tastes like pure indulgence! Bananas and honey add natural sweetness and essential vitamins, avocados bring healthy fats and smoothness, and cocoa delivers on antioxidants. No guilt here!

How to Pack Homemade Pudding for Lunch

Making and packing this healthy chocolate pudding is as simple as it gets. Here's how:

Blend the pudding
Combine the bananas, avocados, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Chill it
I recommend allowing the pudding to chill for at least 2 hours before serving or packing to let the flavors mix and to firm it up.
Portion it
Spoon the pudding into a small, lidded container or lunch thermos.
Pack it for school
Keep the container refrigerated until ready to use, then pack it along with fruit or additional lunch sides in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack and a spoon.

Tips for Packing Pudding for School Lunch

This homemade pudding might not make it into the lunchbox before it gets devoured, but if it does you can ensure it stays fresh and amazing with these simple tips:

Use the right containers
Leak-proof containers like parfait cups or a pre-chilled thermos are a must to prevent spills. A thermos will also keep the pudding cool until it’s time to eat.

Keep it chilled
Let the pudding sit in the fridge until you're ready to pack it. This helps maintain its creamy texture. Then pack it with an ice pack to help regulate the temperature and keep it fresh until lunchtime.

Prep ahead
Avocado pudding will stays fresh for 2-3 days so you can prep it ahead to make packing faster. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge with plastic wrap right on the surface to prevent browning and flavor changes.

Add fun toppings
Pack a small dip container with mini chocolate chips, shaved coconut, or raisins so kids can customize their pudding.
