Easy And Healthy Chocolate Avocado Mousse

This is a ridiculously easy recipe of chocolate and avocado mousse. Really, all you need is your blender – as it’s a totally raw recipe. I made this the other day when I – yet again – staring at the 3 perfectly ripe avocados I had in the fruit bowl and didn’t know what to do with them. I was planning something avocado-less for dinner, but didn’t want to waste these guys. I hate food waste and I forever try to come up with ways to reduce it. Well, here we go, this recipe is perfect for using up ripe avocados AND bananas together. 

The other reason I was making chocolate avocado mousse, was that I was – yet again – desperate to smuggle some fruits and healthy bits into a dish my Bobcat would eat. He’s now pickier than ever and I’m really struggling to come up with new ways to tempt him to try new food. But if the new food looks like chocolate, tastes like chocolate and generally behaves like chocolate mousse, then we can call it as a success. Now, I know that it’s sweet and perfectly resembles a real chocolate mousse – but it also has THREE avos! Avocados are the only fruit that contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (good for your brain) lots of fibre and are rich in vitamins and minerals, likeas B-vitamins (folate), vitamin K, potassium, copper, vitamin E and vitamin C. Plus the nutritional benefits of the banana. (fibre, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and other antioxidants) I’ve got lots of banana recipes too. The thing is, that since he only eats pizza and white bread with cheese and some smoothies – WHATEVER extra fruits and veggies in whatever form I can get him to eat – is a huge win. Other ASD parents might feel this pain too.
