Chocolate mousse…yum….  Healthy chocolate mousse? Hmmm…

Avocado is the magic ingredient making this mousse light and healthy, yet decadent and delicious. If you have a couple of avocados lying around getting super soft, that’s a great excuse to make chocolate mousse (and if not, go get your hands on some and make this!)

Ingredients: (makes 3 servings)

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/4 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate or cacao nibs
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon peanut or almond butter (omit for nut-free)
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• dash of sea salt
• optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and/or collagen peptides for added protein

Instructions:

Combine and melt chocolate/cacao nibs, coconut oil, and honey/maple syrup together on stove or in microwave. Add all ingredients into blender/food processor and blend until consistent. Refrigerate at least 25 minutes and devour. Top with chopped nuts and/or granola if you’d like.

One Healthy Breakdown: there are many delicious ways to eat avocado, but this is the most decadent way by far!
