Being a chocoholic (like most of the women in my entourage), the idea of relinquishing chocolate temptations is simply impossible. With this in mind, and after a friendly encounter with Manhattan's Tov Nutritions nutritional coach Brooke Lowenstein-Hassoun, she recommended the following fast and wholesome chocolate mousse recipe made with fresh avocado. And yes! It's surprisingly very yummy!
