Cocoa Avocado Bites



By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

Do the words avocado+chocolate make you cringe or get you interested?  If the words don't do much for you, perhaps the pictures will.




The creaminess of avocado combined with the rich taste of cocoa is simply divine.



With the lack of highly refined flours and sugars and the added health benefits of the amazing avocado, this unusual treat will make your tummy happy and bring a smile to your face!

Ingredients
makes about 12 bites

1 large avocado
1/4 c cocoa powder + 2 Tblsp for dusting
2 Tblsp brown sugar

Place avocado in food processor and blend until creamy.
Add 1/4 c cocoa powder and brown sugar and process until incorporated.
Place in fridge for 5-10 minutes until set.
Scoop a small mound into your hands and roll into a 1" ball, place on tray.
Once finished, dust all balls with remainder cocoa powder.
Place in fridge to set for 10 minutes (if you can wait that long!)
Enjoy!
