Choco- Avo scrumptious mousse 👌🏼

First we have talented plant based chef ‘Deliciously Ella’ to thank for this stunning recipe! I love her books, the instructions and ingredients are easy to source and create a ‘feel-good’ experience.

Let’s get started!!

Ingredients

– 2x Ripe Avocados 🥑

– 4x Very ripe bananas 🍌

– 12x Dates

– 4x tbsp Almond Butter 🧈

And the piece de resistance …. 5x Teaspoons of Organic Cacao. 🍫

This recipe is so simple it only takes ten mins top to make! Here we go :

Firstly stone and skin both avocados and pop them into a food processor.

Skin the bananas, chop the dates and add these ingredients as well as the rest to the Avo in the processor.

In two bursts of two minutes each, switch on the food processor. Make sure the mix is smooth.

Dish out into small glass dishes and garnish with a fruit 🍇 or herb 🌿 to your taste, I like mint leaves to add to the layers of taste of your nourishing dessert.

Place into fridge and chill for twenty mins.

Cheeky Italian Bruschetta!

Q) what’s tasty, got all the flavour, simples to rustle up, and gives you two of your five a day?! ( um, clue in title) …….,,,

Ingredients

1x Ciabatta loaf, cut into four. 🥖

2x tbsp Pesto (flavour of your choice)

20x cherry tomatoes 🍅

1x 1/2 small cup of red onion 🧅

Generous glug of olive oil

Method.

Add olive oil to a medium frying pan, heat and place both the onions and tomatoes into the pan. On a high heat, cook these for five mins, stirring occasionally.

Next, Add the bread, doughy part facedown to the frying pan for two mins, allowing it to soak up the flavoursome olive oil, and flavours of onion and tomato.

After this, place the ciabatta on a big serving dish. Layer with the contents of the frying pan and at the end, add a cheeky topping of lush pesto on top of each piece of bread.

Serve immediately!
