Are you struggling to find healthy dessert options that aren’t loaded with refined sugars, crappy oils and other nasty junk?

Healthy treats can be a hard find, which is why I like to get creative in the kitchen and whip up my own delicious and squeaky clean desserts.

Avocado mousse is one of my go-to healthy desserts. It’s super quick and easy to make – and packed with nutrients and healthy fats.

Check out my rich and creamy Chocolate Banana Avocado Mousse recipe. It’s gluten and dairy free making it a perfect low-carb, paleo and plant-based dessert.

Chocolate Banana Avocado Mousse

INGREDIENTS: (serves 1-2)
1 ripe avocado
1 banana
1/4 cup coconut milk (canned, full fat)
4 tbsp. cacao powder
2 tbsp of maple syrup or other natural sweetener of choice
Pinch of sea salt

Toppings (optional):
Cacao nibs
Fresh berries
Sliced banana

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place all ingredients (except for toppings) into a food processor or high speed blender.

2. Blend until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency.

3. Chill avocado mousse in the fridge for a cool dessert.

4. Add toppings and enjoy.

Want to turn this healthy dessert into a nutrient-dense breakfast? Add 1 scoop of protein powder to the list of ingredients and blend. If you’re using my recommended PurePaleo protein, I suggest leaving out the honey/maple syrup/stevia since the protein powders are sweetened with stevia. Add more coconut milk if needed.
