    Lectin-Free Vegan Chocolate Avocado Frosting | The Healthy Family and Home

    This Lectin-Free Vegan Chocolate Avocado Frosting recipe is a good staple recipe to have on hand and it's made with only 5 clean ingredients and is ready in under 5 minutes.

    You can whip it up in a matter of minutes with ingredients you probably already have on hand, and, it's a good recipe to make when you have avocados that need to be used quickly.

    I like to use it as a topping on my Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Avocado Oil Cake, but you can use it on top of brownies, cookies, cupcakes or just enjoy it by itself!

    No matter which way you go, homemade or store-bought, ingredients in S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) versions are bad and aren't vegan:

     

     S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Homemade Chocolate Frosting:

    Typical Ingredients:  3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 1/2 sticks of butter, 1/2 can evaporated milk or whole milk

     

    S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Frosting:

    Ingredients: Sugar, Water, High Maltose Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Corn Starch, Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Canola Oil. Contains 2% or less of Salt, Distilled Monoglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Color Added, Nonfat Milk, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate to Preserve Freshness.

     

    This healthier version is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, lectin-free, soy-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar.
