My Foodie Call

So I went back to Laurel Hill. Remember when we did the Pumpkin Smoothie Challenge? Well, back for another hands on treat. This one might look familiar from a couple of weeks ago. Remember the Avocado Chocolate Pudding?

Avocado Chocolate Pudding. Chocolate is the perfect place for avocado to hide.

Went to Laurel Hill and used the same recipe except to give it a holiday twist we crushed peppermints as an optional topping for the Avocado Chocolate Pudding.

Same technique that I used for my Healthy Holiday Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Peppermints in the processor.

Crush ’em. Easy.

Back to Laurel Hill…I made the “health lesson” for this visit on avocados. Good fats. Bad Fats. Easy. You know that green scares the kids :). 

The original recipe calls for 2 avocados. 19 kids means quite a few avocados.

I first had them do our sweet topping.

All of the kids lined up and got a turn adding mints to the food processor. I especially like the Trader Joe’s mints because there is no gross red dye in them. Score.

We cut, we measured, we scooped. We added a little of this and we added a little of that…

Tripling our recipe got us 22 cute little pudding cups.

Time to test our treats.

A little unsure….

He will like this. That I can say with certainty. And I know this because he is the My Foodie Call at-home judge.

I think the peppermint candy topping helped seal the deal.

As mentioned above, I began the lesson by explaining about good fats and bad fats.

By the end?

Happy to say that 100% of the kids could pronounce the word “Mono-unsaturated”.

Mission accomplished.
