How To Make Avocado Banana Chocolate Mousse?

Ingredients:

  • 2 large, ripe bananas
  • 1/2 ripe avocado (3/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp water

Instructions:

Gather all ingredients: 2 large, ripe bananas, 1/2 ripe avocado (3/4 cup), 1/4 cup cacao powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tbsp water.

Add the bananas, avocado, cacao powder, cinnamon, maple syrup, and water to a blender or food processor.

Blend the ingredients together for 30 seconds until they are smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water, 1 tsp at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

If desired, top the finished blend with berries, cacao nibs, or nuts to serve. You can also enjoy the blend as-is or pour it into popsicle molds and freeze it for a refreshing frozen treat.

Serve and enjoy! This creamy, decadent treat is a great way to sneak some superfoods into your diet and get a boost of healthy fats.

Optional variations:

To make a jaffa orange version, replace the water with 1 tbsp orange juice and mix through 2 tbsp orange rind.

Stir in 1/4 tsp dried chili flakes to make a chocolate chili version.

The Bottom Line

This creamy, decadent treat is ready in under five minutes and is a great way to introduce superfoods like bananas and avocados to children eight months and up.

It’s a delicious way to get in your healthy fats for the day, which is important for recovering from a workout and maintaining healthy skin, brain function, and weight.

Cacao, used in this recipe, can also help with weight loss, protect against environmental toxins, and alleviate headaches, anxiety, and depression.
