Chocolate and mint go together almost as well as chocolate and coffee. This plant-based chocolate mint pudding parfait is nutrient dense and completely guilt-free. Dark chocolate mocha is balanced by cool mint and rich avocado. Pass on the after-dinner espresso and enjoy this pudding as a rich but healthy way to end a meal with friends with the added bonus of 25 grams of plant-based protein.
