Healthy Recipe! The Best Healthy Dessert EVER!


I'm sorry it has taken me longer than expected to post this! Hear me out though, I knew that if I made this dessert I would HAVE to eat it. I couldn't just let it sit there and go to waste and now that we're coming up to the weekend I have done it! Honestly, this is the best healthy, all organic dessert I have ever tasted! It came from a Paleo recipe I found for Chocolate pudding and one night I felt like being experimental and whipped this together. What I produced is (in my opinion) better than ice cream.

Choc-Banana Frozen Mousse

Ingredients:
3 Bananas
2 Avocados
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons of Organic Creamed Honey
2 Tablespoons of Almond Spread
1 Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder
1 Scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder (This is optional, I use it to make it slightly closer to "Zone" Good Fat, Good Carb, Protein)

Serves 2 generous bowls or 4 mini sides


Procedure:
(Brace yourself- it gets technical. I'm kidding. Its a piece of cake  mousse!)

1. Put all ingredients into Food Processor
2. Process until a cream like substance appears. You may have to stop the processor and mix the outside ingredients into the middle a couple of times

3. Proportion to two bowls

4. Put bowls in freezer. Depending how you like it leave it in there for atleast 60 minutes. This will give you a thick really cold mousse. If you want it more like an ice cream, leave it in for 2 hours.

5. Grab a spoon, a movie and the couch to enjoy this amazing healthy treat!

Let me know if you made it and what you think about it!

Hope you enjoy!

Healthy Recipe: Dessert

Healthy Option Brownies
Okay! So, last Saturday I was in the mood for a treat and I decided to make Paleo Brownies. If you eat chocolate all the time, these aren't very exciting because you would be more used to sweet desserts but for those of you who are on a diet at the moment and would like a healthy alternative, give this recipe a go!

Almond Butter Spread
Ingredients-


  • 1 c almond butter
  • 1/2 c canned coconut milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1/3 c cocoa powder
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1 banana
  • 1/3 c Cocoa based chocolate (70%) optional
  • 1/3 c chopped nuts
Methods-


Preheat the oven to 180°. Put baking paper in an 8 x 8 baking dish. 
In a bowl whisk together the almond butter, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Then add the cocoa powder, honey,  and cocoa.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with chopped nuts.
Bake for approx. 18 minutes.
Take tray out and let brownies set for 10 minutes. Then cut into desired sizes. 
Add coconut sprinkles if desired.
