Happy Father’s Day, PBF’ers! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend as much as I am. Now that I can finally relax without having to study or do schoolwork, I decided to plop myself in front of my brand new TV for most of the day yesterday binge-watching Game of Thrones. It was glorious. And yes, I’m way behind on the series…no spoilers please! Today I’ve got plans to hit the gym, go to the farmer’s market, get groceries, and find something to do outside if it doesn’t start storming. This freedom thing…I like it 🙂
I also like chia pudding, so let’s talk about this recipe. I seriously enjoy a good key lime dessert. I was lucky enough to have lived in Key West for a couple of years and enjoyed the heck out of all the top notch key lime treats down there. So of course, I decided to make a healthified key lime treat for myself. And what goes with key lime? Coconut, duh!
Oh yeah, and there’s a fun little surprise ingredient in the key lime mousse that you might not have guessed…avocado! Bring on the healthy fats 🙂 Don’t worry, you can’t actually taste the avocado, it just brings a creamy luxuriousness to the mousse (and a pretty green color) that makes it hard to stop eating.
