Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse

 Ok, so while I have a freezer full of bananas and avocados are still a fairly reasonable price I thought it a good time to share one of my favourite quick and easy desserts with you all.......

Vegan Chocolate Mousse

1 frozen banana chopped into pieces

½ an avocado

1-2 teaspoons of RAW* cacao powder

1-2 teaspoons of RAW* cacao nibs (dash of organic soy milk, almond milk or organic cows milk can be used instead if you prefer)

Blend all ingredients together in a blender, only add enough milk to just mix all the ingredients, too much and you will end up with a runny dessert instead of a light fluffy mousse like texture.......

• Raw cacao is a superfood and has high levels of antioxidants, trace minerals, phyto-nutruients, vitamins, omegas, neurotransmitters and fiber.
• Contrary to popular opinion raw cacao is a poor source of caffeine. It is however rich in theobromine which is a close relative of caffeine without being a nervous system stimulant like cafffeine. Theobromines main function is to dilate the cardiovascular system making the hearts job easier.

When Theobromine is heated it converts into caffeine!!!!

• Beans used to make commercial chocolate are usually roasted but then are not raw as temperatures for roasting reach higher than 48 dg. Roasting decreases the antioxidant properties contained within the cacao by up to 50% it also destroys or damages the tryptophan which produces serotonin a major neurotransmitter. The high doses of vitamin C are also destroyed upon heating and the omegas go rancid and of course the theobromine converts into caffeine.
  Just a few good reasons to go Raw and organic with this product!!!
