CACOA AVO MOUSSE RECIPE!

Cacoa Avo Mousse:

This is a nutrient dense puree, packed with goodness and strong flavours to get your baby’s taste buds used to something a bit different.  Suitable for the whole family as a delicious dessert!

1 ripe avocado

½ banana

1 to 2 tablespoons of dark cocoa powder (raw is better)

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 Joyful Green Little Inca pouch

Slice through the middle of the avocado and around the seed.  Twist to open, then scoop out the flesh.  Add to your blender with the rest of the ingredients.  Start with just a small amount of cacoa powder, and increase until you get the chocolateyness you wish.   This is very filling but packed with nutrients – baby may only need a couple of teaspoons.

Recipe notes:

The coconut oil helps to make the mousse silky and smooth.

Raw cocoa powder is a rich source of iron, polyphenols and minerals to support healthy growth.

Serve with a spoon, or with some soft fruits spread with the mousse for babies used to finger foods.
