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?
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.
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 :).
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.
Time to test our treats.

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