A few weeks ago I found myself sitting in a raw food eatery in Calgary with my ex-boyfriend, his daughter and his son-in-law, celebrating father’s day. Don’t ask how this happened. It’s a long story.
The cool thing about this luncheon, though, was that the daughter and son-in-law had been sugar-free for a few months and they were singing the praises of this lifestyle like the truly converted.
They had more energy and more even energy throughout the day, balanced moods, their skin looked better and had both, effortlessly, lost weight, they said. And their eyes lit up when they talked about their new eating plan and how much it had improved their lives.
As they talked, I remembered feeling that way too when I gave up sugar. The only thing is that it’s hard and, invariably, I slink down the slippery slope that leads to sugar mountain.
But, what the heck, I’m feeling ready to take on the sugar demon one more time.
I’ll chronicle my experience (and recipes) here and start the journey with one of my sugar-free life savers. This pudding is rich, creamy and bursting with a deep, dark chocolate flavour. Here it is:
The Chocolate Avocado Raspberry Pudding
- four bananas
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- splash unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 2 T raw cacao
Blend, garnish with fresh raspberries & unsweetened coconut and serve.

I love sugar to much to give it up entirely, but I’m trying to eat it as little as possible 😄 oh and, thank you for this recipe dear
You’re very welcome. I hope you like it if you try it. You would never know that there isn’t sugar in it 🙂
