1
DARK CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE Heart-happy fats make this a star! Microwave ¼ cup 80% dark choc until smooth. Combine in a food processer with 1 avocado, 1 tbs almond milk, 1 tbs of cocoa powder, 1 tbs honey, ¼ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy. If you need to up the sweetness, try a touch of sugar subsitute, such as Equal Spoonful. Refrigerate, then enjoy!
2
FRUIT DOUGHNUTS Thinly slice an apple and cut out the core. Then add your toppings of choice! Our ed coordinator Ellie suggests natural peanut butter with goji berries and chia seeds, or Greek yoghurt with chopped strawberries and coconut flakes. Delicious!
3
CHIA PUDDING Whisk together ¼ cup of chia seeds, 1 cup of your milk of choice (we love almond) and a few drops of vanilla essence. Chill overnight and stir before serving. Top with a generous handful of mixed berries.
4
LEMONY YOGHURT Give your PM tub an easy flavour infusion. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into Greek yoghurt, mix and sprinkle with nuts. Add just a drizzle of honey to boost the sweetness. For a more intense yellow, a dash of turmeric will do the trick.
5
LOW-SUGAR SORBET Pop your fave fruits in the freezer for at least an hour (overnight is ideal). Then whiz in a blender until creamy. Our go-to combo? Berries and banana—although you really can’t go wrong!
