Let’s do National Banana Day as part of Wellness Wednesday and when you want a healthy dessert, you can make my chocolate mousse with just a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen…
Why Bananas Are a Wellness Hero:
- Potassium: Supports heart health and regulates blood pressure
- Vitamin B6: Aids in brain function and metabolism
- Vitamin C: Boosts immunity and supports skin health
Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
- 2 Ripe Avocado
- 2 Ripe Banana (for less fat double bananas)
- 2 T cacao
- 1 T maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Splashes of unsweetened plant milk if needed to blend
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients in a mini blender and blend until smooth, adding plant milk as needed to ensure it is blending but not for the purpose of making it “runny”.
- Adjust flavours (chocolate, syrup, salt)
- Chill 1 hour then serve.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
