Coconut and Raspberry Mousse

If you don't know y'all, I looooove me some mousse. I like the chocolate kind. You know the kind that has a whopping 452 calories for 1/2C! Mmmmhhmmmm! That's the one!

I found this recipe this week from Whole Food Simply and let me tell you it hits the spot! This paleo inspired mousse is super awesome for all you non-dairy and gluten free eaters. Coming in at HALF the calories for the same serving and preparation taking half the time this one is a total eat up!!!


Coconut and Raspberry Mousse
1 avocado
1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 heaped tablespoon coconut milk
Place ingredients into your blender in the order listed above, blend and enjoy!

Ask and you shall receive!

It's here, folks! The food blog! I am looking forward to being able to post all the amazing things that my family likes to munch and crunch on. Dishes will be broken up (no pun intended - hahaha) by category (breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.), ingredients, season, and travels. Look forward to guest appearances from other family members, too. :)  I hope this is going to be as much fun as I think it is going to be in my head. LOL Well, all I have left to say is eat up!
