But we all know that too much sugar is one of the biggest problems in today&#8217;s society, causing a huge rise in sickness and disease. A lot of people are even addicted to sugar, which is not so strange since sugar has been shown to even be <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0000698\">more addictive than cocaine<\/a>! I used to be addicted to sugar, which is why I decided to quit sugar summer 2007. But just because you don&#8217;t eat sugar, doesn&#8217;t mean you can never enjoy delicious desserts every once in a while. This chocolate mousse has a lot of nutrients and good fat and is super easy to make!<\/p>\n<p>What you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 avocado<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 banana<\/li>\n<li>cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>coconut milk<\/li>\n<li>sea salt<\/li>\n<li>liquid stevia (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How you make it:<\/p>\n<p>Mash together all the ingredients using an immersion blender or mixer. Start with one avocado and about 1\/4 banana as base. Add about 1 tbsp coconut milk, just enough to be able to mix everything together without making it too runny, and add desired amount of cocoa powder. Maybe start with 1 tbsp cocoa powder and add more for darker chocolate flavor. Add a touch of sea salt and a few drops of liquid stevia until desired sweetness. If you don&#8217;t want to use stevia you can add a bit of extra banana if you want it sweeter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolate mousse has got to be one of my favorites, because it&#8217;s so simple to make and so delicious to eat!
