Chocolate mousse filled with lots of healthy superfood ingredients and lots of nutrients! Yum!

This is one of my absolute favorite things to make at the moment… for many reason’s.

The reasons? It’s really healthy and is packed with lots of nutrients, it’s so easy to make (less than 5 min), it’s chocolate (and I love chocolate), it’s made with superfood ingredients, its absolutely delicious (because it’s dessert) BUT it’s so healthy that I can eat it for breakfast.

What is a superfood? A superfood is a food that is considered to be beneficial for ones health because it is very rich in nutrients.

When do I like to eat this Superfood Chocolate Mousse?
For breakfast or with breakfast (who doesn’t love chocolate for breakfast?), as a snack, for lunch, after dinner or with dinner, for dessert or as a treat.
It’s perfect to enjoy any time of day!

This recipe is dairy-free, sugar-free, plant-based, vegan, raw and Paleo friendly. Enjoy!
