This mousse features a blend of avocados (that’s right, don’t judge till you try!), raw cacao powder, and dates, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with vanilla extract.

The smooth texture and deep chocolate flavor make it an indulgent yet healthy treat.

This recipe is part of my Feel Good Treats Summer series, where we’re all about enjoying your favorite treats but making them healthier so you feel really freaking good! All the treats are damn delicious and also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, anti-inflammatory, and mostly vegan.

I started developing these feel-good treats after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Check out the story and video here!
