Mocha avocado cups
Food affects our moods, some more so than others. This is why we crave junk food and inevitably end up feeling lethargic, drowsy and irritable when our nutritional state is out of balance. Keep on track with your health goals by enjoying healthier whole food based desserts.
These avocado based mocha cups are a creamy, chocolate mousse type dessert with a hint of coffee and sweetened with local date syrup (made from only dates). You can substitute the date syrup with honey or maple syrup. Top each coffee cup with fresh seasonal berries and pomegranate arils for a healthier Mediterranean style treat.
