Dessert

Maola Healthier Dirt Cup

Snack time gets a healthy, kid-approved upgrade with these Healthier Dirt Cups! Blended with creamy avocado, rich cocoa, and Maola 2% Reduced Fat Milk, this playful treat delivers chocolatey flavor toddlers love while sneaking in nutrients they need. Maola milk adds high-quality protein, calcium, and vitamin B12—nutrients that help support early brain development, strong bones, and healthy growth. The texture is silky and smooth, just right for little spoons, and the chocolate granola “dirt” and gummy worms make it extra fun. It’s the perfect way to turn dessert into something that’s both delicious and nourishing for your growing explorer

½ cup chocolate granola

12 gummy worms

Instructions

In a food processor add the avocado, Maola 2% Reduced Fat Milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. You can add more milk to the food processor to reach your desired consistency.

Divide the “pudding” between the four cups and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

Place the chocolate granola in a zip-top bag and crush into small “dirt-like” crumbs using your hands or a rolling pin.

Remove cups from the fridge and sprinkle the crushed granola over each one.

Top with gummy worms and other halloween candy. Enjoy!
