Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Dessert that actually helps your nervous system. No, really.
Avocado and cacao together are genuinely good for cortisol. Cacao is one of the richest food sources of magnesium, which most of us don't get enough of, and magnesium is directly tied to how well your body manages stress. The avocado adds prebiotic fibre, which feeds your gut bacteria. And it tastes like dessert, which is also fine. If you missed my post about how to lower cortisol you can read it here.
