It’s Thanksgiving week,
and I have been enjoying the holiday break from our busy school schedules.
I do however have a small bit of advice for those with kids at home as well;
ready…do not take them shopping with you.
Not only are the grocery stores a mob scene,
but there are sweet treats on the ends of every single aisle.
Can I have…
Can we get….
We have to make this …
I was ready to scream.
Halloween is just behind us,
{can you say candy crash}
and I know this weekend will be FULL of desserts,
so I really was not planning on making anything sweet.
BUT…
I don’t like to always be the bad guy
I decided to compromise with
a quick, no-cook
healthy chocolate mousse
Chocolate Chia Seed Mousse
1 can of coconut cream {Trader Joes}
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1/4 cup of honey or agave
1 tsp vanilla
blend the coconut cream {the water and cream will have separated in the can}
mix in the remaining ingredients and blend well
chill for 2 – 3 hours
when you are ready to serve, simply whisk it a bit to get a lighter texture
I even topped it with a few chocolate pomegranate seeds
Delicious, dairy free, and a desert I can feel good about eating
Enjoy!

My girls are 17 & 18 and they still try to con me out of stuff at the grocery store. Way cheaper to leave them home
I really like the idea of this mousse – great idea!
thanks so much – have a wonderful Thanksgiving
I’ve been meaning to try chia seeds as I’ve heard so much about them, and now with chocolate, I’ll definitely have to try this! Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!
I keep wanting to try Chia seeds but can’t get over the whole Chia pet thing.
