-
Prepare the Raspberry Puree:
In a small saucepan, gently warm the frozen raspberries with the vanilla powder (or extract). Once the mixture comes to a gentle boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. Store it in the refrigerator. This versatile puree isn’t just for the mousse; it’s also wonderful stirred into yogurt, muesli, or oatmeal!
-
Soak the Chia Seeds (The Night Before!):
The evening before, combine the chia seeds with the milk and shredded coconut in a bowl or an airtight container. Cover it and refrigerate overnight. The mixture will thicken into a lovely, jelly-like base for your mousse.
-
Blend Your Mousse (In the Morning!):
In the morning, simply blend the swollen chia mixture with the frozen banana and your prepared raspberry puree. Blend until it’s completely smooth, light, and airy – you’re looking for a wonderfully creamy consistency.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls. Sprinkle with a little extra shredded coconut and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a beautiful touch.
Your healthy raspberry chia mousse is ready to enjoy! This breakfast not only looks appealing but also provides a fantastic energy boost to carry you through the first half of your day. It’s ideal for both kids and adults who want to eat deliciously and healthily!
