This raw vegan avocado lime pudding is a dessert, but it could be a breakfast if you really wanted it to be. It sort of feels a little smug, but in a good way. It comes together in just a matter of minutes with nothing more than a food processor or blender, transforming luxuriously ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, and a touch of natural sweetness (grade A maple syrup) into a silky-smooth “pudding.” Don’t worry about baking, or a bunch of pots and pans to clean up. This is a no-fuss recipe that requires absolutely no culinary gymnastics.

You don’t have to worry…avocados do the heavy lifting in this recipe. They bring a luxuriously creamy texture along with some serious nutritional benefit. They are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber that helps keep you satiated, and potassium and vitamin E. Ultimately, this is the dessert that shows up wearing sweatpants to the company party, but somehow is the only thing there that has its life together.

And although this pudding it’s green, let’s clear this up right now: it could nowhere close to guacamole. There are no onions, no garlic, no tomatoes, no jalapeños, and no chips hovering nearby for confusion. The bright lime adds freshness and a pleasant tartness, while the maple syrup and banana add lovely sweetness to balance everything out. The result is a vibrant, refreshing dessert with a hint of citrus, not a dip at a taco bar.
