Ingredients

  • 1 avocado

  • 105 ml (7 tbsp) unsweetened enriched soy milk (or 2% milk)

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ scoops (45g) chocolate protein powder

  • 22 ml (1 ½ tbsp) chia seeds

  • 22 ml (1 ½ tbsp) maple syrup

  • 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

  • 2.5 ml (½ tsp) instant coffee powder, optional

  • A pinch of salt

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) carton egg whites

 

Note: If you don't have protein powder, you can use skim milk powder and add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, or add ½ a banana for sweetness without adding too much concentrated sugar.

Preparation

  1. Place all ingredients, except egg whites, in a food processor and blend until smooth and homogeneous.

  2. In a small bowl, place the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer.

  3. Add the egg white mixture to the avocado mixture and gently fold the mixture with a spatula. Divide the mousse into 3 small serving bowls and enjoy on the same day if possible.

Notes

Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but is best consumed on the same day.
