Why You’ll Love This Mousse

The Benefits of MCT Oil Powder in This Recipe

  • A Healthy Boost: MCT oil powder provides medium-chain triglycerides, which offer quick energy without causing a sugar crash. Adding it to the mousse means you get a satisfying dessert that won’t leave you sluggish.
  • Supports Mental Clarity: The brain thrives on MCTs, as they are rapidly absorbed and converted into ketones, supplying the brain with steady energy. Perfect for maintaining focus and supporting brain function, especially when you need a cognitive lift.
  • Gut Health Support: MCTs have shown benefits for gut microbiome health, contributing to a balanced digestive system and supporting the gut barrier for overall wellness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe avocado – For a smooth and creamy texture and healthy fats.
  • 2 tbsp MCT Oil Powder with Prebiotic Fiber – Boosts energy, gut health, and aids in nutrient absorption.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – Adds rich chocolate flavor and enhances the chocolate experience.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey – Natural sweetness; adjust to taste for a sugar-free delight.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – Elevates the chocolate and balances flavors.
  • A pinch of sea salt – Rounds out the flavors and balances sweetness.
  • Optional Toppings: Try whipped coconut cream, a sprinkle of cacao powder, chocolate chips, or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients. Ensure the avocado is ripe for the best texture.
