Ingredients & Their Nutritional Benefits:

• Mango: Known for being rich in vitamin C, mango helps boost your immune system, supporting your body’s natural defenses. Vitamin C is also essential for collagen production, promoting healthy skin and tissue repair.
• Banana: A great source of potassium, which is vital for maintaining proper fluid balance and supporting muscle function, bananas also provide vitamin B6, which is crucial for brain health and the production of red blood cells.
• Avocado: This nutrient-dense fruit is an excellent source of healthy fats, which are essential for brain function, skin health, and overall energy. It also provides fiber, which helps with digestion, and is rich in magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and folate, all of which support various aspects of your health.
• Carrot: Rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A, carrots play a key role in supporting healthy vision, skin, and immune function.
• Coconut Yogurt: A dairy-free alternative, coconut yogurt is rich in healthy fats and provides beneficial probiotics to support gut health. It also contributes to the mousse’s creamy texture while offering magnesium and vitamin C for added health benefits.

Ingredients

• 1 small yellow carrot (about 30g)

• 1 avocado (about 200g)

• 6 oz frozen mango chunks (about 170g)

• 1 banana (about 120g)

• 6 oz coconut yogurt (about 170g)

Directions

• Add all ingredients into a blender.
• Blend until smooth and creamy.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and thicken.

Notes

• Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add more banana or a ½ tsp of honey. The natural sweetness of the mango and banana may be enough for some, but the honey can enhance the flavor if needed.
• Storage: Store the mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It will thicken further as it sets in the refrigerator, making it even creamier.
• Make it Lighter: If you want a lighter version, you can reduce the avocado slightly or use a bit less coconut yogurt. This will decrease the calorie content without compromising the mousse’s richness too much.
• Nutrient Boost: For an extra nutrient boost, consider adding a small handful of spinach or other leafy greens while blending. These won’t affect the flavor much but will increase the vitamin and mineral content, especially for iron and folate.
• Vegan-Friendly: This recipe is naturally vegan and dairy-free, making it a great option for those following plant-based diets.
• Allergy-Friendly: The mousse is nut-free, making it safe for those with nut allergies while still providing a rich and creamy texture.
• Texture Tip: If you prefer a thicker mousse, reduce the amount of coconut yogurt slightly. If you want a silkier texture, you can add a bit more to achieve your desired consistency.
