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