Valentine’s Day Chocolate Mousse

Nothing more romantic than a creamy, decadent, and divine chocolate dessert. Actually, I do know something more romantic—a delicious dessert that leaves your body feeling really amazing instead of bloated, sluggish, and gross. Because no one wants those feelings on Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients: (Serves 2) 

• 1 1/2 avocados
• 2∕3 cup coconut water, ideally raw
• 1 tablespoon vanilla (I use Medicine Flowers Vanilla 10 drops)
• 2 tablespoons raw cacao
• 3 pitted dates (can use 5 to make it a little sweeter)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)

Directions:

1. Blend on high in a blender.
2. That’s it—so easy.
3. Optional but highly suggested: Sprinkle pomegranates, nuts, raspberries, mint leaves, and other toppings you desire.

If you actually have leftovers, please store them in a closed container in the fridge. This mousse is so delicious, energizing, and filling that it can make for a great, Dr. Daryl-approved breakfast.

Speaking of breakfast, I also totally understand that coffee is an essential ingredient for many people’s morning rituals. This is why I created Acid-Kicking Coffee Alkalizer in heavenly flavors such as hazelnut and salted caramel. 

One scoop alkalines your coffee and gives your body MCT and coconut oils that accelerate fat-burning and keep you focused all day long. The other key ingredients, Alpha-GPC, Lion's Mane, and L-Theanine, give your neurocognition a major boost.
