Mini Chocolate Avocado Loaves

How often have you wondered how you could manage to eat chocolate and get away with it, and when I say get away with it I mean it in the sence, eat it with out all the guilty feeling like you feel of the healthy wagon. Eating healthy and changing your diet for the better doesn’t have to be torture. In fact from my own personal experience and the experience of people I know, depriving yourself of treats almost always causes the final break and demise of a diet. I don’t follow any one diet in particular, I follow the goodness of food, meaning I eat better, nutritious healthy foods instead of foods that you know are no good for you. For instance instead of eating deep-fried foods I always cook those famous foods by baking or grilling, adding lots of fruit and vegetables, changing bleached and refined foods for whole grain and unrefined foods, these few simple changes make a big difference, and that is what brings me to this delicious mini chocolate avocado loaf that you will be making time and time again, and storing the recipe card in your book, web recipes or that little box of keep forever recipes you have at home
