CHOCOLATEY AVOCADO MOUSSE
Moms always ask us for treats they can feel good giving their kids and that they can eat without feeling guilty too! So here you have it– our guiltless healthy Chocolatey Avocado Mousse! The avocado is packed with more than 20 nutrients, good-for-you monounsaturated fats and is responsible for the oh-so-creamy texture, while the cocoa powder adds that rich and decadent chocolate sensation.
