Raspberry Mango Avocado Pudding

Ingredients:
1 mango, chopped
1 cup raspberries
1/4 cup flaked coconut
2 avocados
3 tablespoons honey

Combine all ingredients in food processor. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 1 hr before eating (does not taste good even a little bit warm, I repeat, does not taste good even a little bit warm).


I'm still not sure how I feel about this experiment. At first I didn't care for it at all, but once it chilled it actually started to taste good. I increased the ratio of fruit to avocado and that seems to help- it just gets tricky keeping the consistency thick enough. The coconut flakes are nice if you like a little texture, otherwise I'd say leave them out because the flavor is overpowered by the other ingredients. Oh yeah, the end result should look like baby poop.

So what is the contingency plan?

I actually created this blog a long time ago, I just never managed to add content. Charged with a fresh dose of ambition, I'm going to give it another shot. Even though the blog is old, to me, the name still fits. Sometimes I think my life is just one giant contingency plan. Nothing ever works out like I think it will or want it too. What I've learned the past year is that that's okay. Life's an adventure. I hope this blog can serve as a chronicle of my journey to embrace this principle.
