Chocolate Avocado Mousse
I’m a big fan of a chocolatey treat, and an even bigger fan when it’s mixed with fruit, and I know it’s in a form that’s nourishing my body. This recipe is super decadent and you really don’t need a lot to feel satisfied.
Avocados are an awesome food for your health. They are full of essential vitamins (vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin C, and several B vitamins), minerals (potassium, magnesium), and fibre, as well as healthy fats. They are good for eye health, digestive health, skin and bones. They also have antiinflammatory properties and may be involved in cancer prevention. Because of the fat content and fibre, they are helpful for blood sugar control and helping you feel satisfied, but are calorie dense so portion control is important if you're concerned about calorie intake.

2 large avocado
2 Tbsp maple syrup (or sugar free alternative to make it keto)
½ C coconut cream
