Avocado Cacao Mousse

  • January 1, 2022
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I encourage you with any nutrition intentions, try not to think in terms of elimination! For example, I hear all of the time people wanting to “cut out sugar.” It won’t get you very far! As humans we are meant to crave sweet foods, and it is very challenging to fight our biochemistry. Instead, where can you add in and upgrade? Lots of foods found in nature are naturally sweet, and then there are recipes like this one, that is a healthified sweet treat.

Avocado and cacao powder come together to create the most delicious, decadent-tasting concoction. Not only are the two primary ingredients nutrient-dense superfoods, but the healthy fat content makes this a blood sugar balancing option to satisfy your sweet tooth. But don’t feel as if you need to limit yourself. In fact, when I created this recipe years ago, I called it “breakfast pudding” because it is healthy enough for the most important meal of the day. Eat on its own or add toppings of choice and enjoy!
