Chocolate Shake
I cannot even express how delicious this is, whether you make it with cocoa powder or carob powder. It is rich, creamy, and utterly satisfying! You can’t even taste the avocado and the dates add just the right amount of sweetness to offset the sharp taste of cocoa (although if you prefer it less sweet or sweeter, you can remove or add dates to your satisfaction). How thick the final product is depends a lot on how fatty your coconut milk is. If you find yours is too thick, feel free to add more coconut milk to thin it out a little!

I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal!

This was just ok. It turned out on the thick side so we ate it with a spoon. We probably will make the mygutsy.com version of chocolate pudding instead of this next time.
Hi Liz! I do recommend adding coconut milk to taste to reach a consistency you like. Some brands (or even cans within the same brand) are fattier than others and it sounds like yours just didn’t have enough liquid. Thanks for giving the recipe a try and leaving your feedback!
