HAPPY VALENTINES DAY + RAW chocolate decadent avocado mousse!

Happy Valentines Day beautiful souls! Today is a day to share or express your love to your family, friends and your loved ones! You don't need to buy chocolates, flowers or fancy expensive gifts to gain your love for someone, just tell them how much they mean to you and how grateful you are to have them in your life. Or maybe even go out to the movies, go out for dinner or even better cook a beautiful meal from love to share with that someone special. So I hope your day is filled with love and happiness and that you continue to share this connection and love everyday. Here's my favourite chocolate dessert recipe that I almost have at least once a week, personally I always feel so happy and love within myself after eating it! ITS AMAZING AND SO EASY!!

RAW CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE (serves 2)

Ingredients

1 Avocado
2 Tbsp Coconut oil
4 Tbsp Cacao powder
2 Tbsp Raw Honey, Coconut Nectar, Maple Syrup or sweetener of choice.


Method
Simply combine all ingredients in a food processor and whip until fully mixed through.
Add or take away the amount of ingredients to suit your taste buds, you may not like as much cacao as it can be quite strong for some people, but I find it gives that real decedent chocolate taste.

Once processed scoop into small bowls or tea cups and place in the freezer for a couple of minutes, top with fresh berries and desiccated coconut. MMMM delish Im getting hungry just thinking about it!

New Segment - Tasty Tuesdays!!!

Hi everyone, I've decided that instead of a foodie Friday I have replaced it with Tasty Tuesdays just to mix it up a bit ;) so this week I have experimented with Mung Bean fettuccine an amazing pasta in which the only ingrediants is pure mung beans! you can find this product in almost all health food stores and they suppliers also sell a variety of gluten free pastas such as chickpea, black bean and azuki bean pasta. I love the mung bean as it has a nice texture that works well with a lot of pasta dishes.
