This has got to be one of the healthiest and quickest desserts out there that is even appropriate for breakfast! Yep that’s right, chocolate mousse for breakfast!
Avocados are full of monounsaturated fats which assist in glowing skin, weight loss and help keep you fuller for longer. Raw cacao powder has more antioxidants thank green tea which protects the body from ageing and disease caused by free radicals.
