SpunkyCoconut posted 25 weeks 6 days ago — I somehow ended up with 5 ripe avocados yesterday; puzzling because we usually don't have enough avocados ripe fast enough (we eat a *lot* of avocados). So I thought I would soak some almonds over night and make my raw chocolate pie today. Those of you who are new to raw are probably thinking, "What do avocados have to do with chocolate pie?" or "Eww!" right about now, but have faith! It may sound strange, but this pie is awesome, and I doubt anyone would ever guess unless you told them. It's silky and smooth and oh so delicious! If you decide to try it please leave a comment and let us know!
Nutritional value of avocados:Avocados are rich in good fat, and have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are high in B vitamins, vitamin E and vitamin K, as well as more fiber than any other fruit.
