Recipe: Kefir and Key lime pudding
Avocado and chia flour make excellent, high-fiber, healthy substitutes for regular flour and eggs in pudding mixes. If you don't have chia flour, simply put chia seeds in a high-speed blender or spice grinder and blend until you have a flour-like consistency. You can also use Prana's ground chia seeds. You can find coconut shavings in the healthy snack aisle at your local health food store.
