Even though I follow a healthy food plan, I still enjoy comfort food during stressful times. Lately I've been thinking about chocolate mousse, and created this Keto Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Protein to satisfy the craving. It's light, creamy, and delicious!
I started with a typical raw vegan chocolate mousse recipe with avocado from Living on Live Food. I lightened up on the sweetener and used chocolate whey protein powder.
Keeping with the raw vegan inspiration, I garnished it here with a small piece of raw chocolate.
I hope you'll give this Keto Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Protein a try. It's a healthy, delicious, high-protein chocolate treat!

- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder or cocoa powder (11.2g)

Notes
A note about substitutions: You can substitute casein powder for the whey powder. If you prefer plant protein, you could use Vega Sport Chocolate, Warrior Blend, or a similar pea blend. Other vegan powders are chalkier, and wouldn’t work well. For a paleo mousse, replace the agave with raw honey or your preferred paleo sweetener. Maple syrup can also be used to replace the agave nectar.
Almond butter can be made by processing almonds in a food processor.

So glad you like it, Elisabeth! The key is to use ripe avocado. If it isn't yet ripe, you'll taste it.
Thanks for writing in! :)
