Ingredients

• Avocados. Use ripe avocados. You can ripen your avocados faster if you store them with bananas.
• Dates. Use soft and sweet dates, such as the Medjool variety.
• Plant milk. As a liquid, I love the Alpro coconut for professionals with soy. It only has about 30 kcal for ½ cup of liquid. And it gives just a little hint of coconut taste. But you can use any plant milk. Oat-, soy, and almond milk are all just fine.
• Cocoa powder. Dutch press dark cacao powder is best for this recipe with the intense and soft chocolate flavor.

Why you should eat avocados

Avocados are incredibly nutritious. The most popular is Hass avocado, which is used in this recipe also. Avocados contain 20 different vitamins and minerals.

Here is a list of some of the vitamins in 100 grams of peeled avocado

• Calcium 15mg
• Potassium 400mg
• Magnesium 29mg
• phosphorus 31mg
• tryptophane 25mg
• c-vitamin 10mg
• k-vitamin 20ug
• folate 11ug

Avocado has only 2 grams of absorbable carbohydrates and 7 grams of fiber. This means your gut bacteria will like avocado. If you have IBS, it is best to start with only a half and increase the amount if your tummy tolerates it.

Avocado is rich in potassium; this is great because every cell in your body needs potassium to function. The recommended daily intake is 4700 mg. This chocolate mousse also contains antioxidants such as carotenoids.

Avocado is a high-fat food but is low in saturated fat. The fat gives this chocolate mousse its creamy, delicious taste.

Toppings for plant-based chocolate mousse

• Cocoa nibs
• Freeze-dried berries
• Fresh fruit like mango
• Fresh berries
• Granola
• Coconut flakes

Storing

Since Avocados change their color quite fast and get brown, I recommend eating this the same day as it's made.
