Chocolate Avocado Mousse

If you’ve never tried avocado chocolate mousse before, this healthy recipe will take you completely by surprise!  It is rich and smooth, and you really can’t taste the avocado.

Ingredients:

  1. 2 ripe avocados
  2. 1/4 cup regular cocoa powder
  3. 1/4 cup dutch cocoa powder (or melted semi-sweet chocolate)
  4. 3-4 tbsp milk of choice
  5. 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  6. 1/8 tsp salt
  7. 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or other sweetener of choice like agave syrup)

 

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients together and cool for about 30 minutes. Top with your favourite fruit – banana, strawberry, raspberry for added colour and flavour.

 

Nutrition Fact:  With less than one gram of sugar per ounce, avocados have the least amount of sugar per serving of any fruit, and they act as a “nutrient booster” by helping the body to better absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
