Recipe: St. Paddy’s Green Avocado Chia Mousse
Here at Summerfield, we have a love of food and a genuine excitement about the versatility of healthy ingredients. We’re all about more veggies at meals! Avocados are a sneaky underdog in the versatility department. They take on many forms other than guacamole. Thanks to their bright green color, avocados offer a visually appealing element to many dishes.
What we love most is the oh-so-creamy texture they provide which works well in place of dairy for a richness that is unmatched. Another fabulously decadent dairy swap is coconut milk. These super-star ingredients pair together with the magical thickening power of chia seeds to create a dairy-free mousse that comes together in just a few minutes. If you think we’ve outdone ourselves, you’re right. All the more reason to give this dessert a try!
