The festive season is nearly upon us and as always all I can think of is ALL THE BAKING. I love it. For me, it’s such a bit part of the season. The wafts of cinnamon and spice.

Of course, in a few weeks time when it’s all over, I will feel like I’ve ever so slightly over dosed on desserts and am ready for a rest. This year, I’m just trying to make some healthy choices as and when I can to hopefully even things up a bit.

I came up with this chocolate mousse using avocados and Optiwell as a chocolate treat that’s a bit more nutritious than my usual choices. I know, avocados anc chocolate, say what? But honestly, please bear with me. I’ve seen versions of avocado chocolate mousse all over Pinterest and decided to come up with my own.

I kept it super simple and whizzed it all up in my Froothie blender. If you are in the market for a blender for yourself of anyone else this Christmas, these really are something special. It’s one of the best pieces of kitchen gadgetry I’ve ever owned as it really REALLY makes a different to blending even the toughest fruit or vegetables (this is the one I use Froothie Optimum 9200).

I added Optiwell yoghurt drink for added protein and a fruity flavour and it really worked. This is definitely being added to my “I want a treat but to FEEL virtuous” recipe list.
