Why You’ll Love This Espresso Chocolate Mousse
Decadent Texture: You’d never guess this mousse is made from tofu! It’s smooth, creamy, and just melts in your mouth.
Protein Boost: Tofu is a fantastic source of plant-based protein and contains isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens that may help balance hormones and reduce symptoms like hot flashes for women in menopause. It's also rich in calcium and magnesium, supporting bone health—a crucial benefit for women in menopause, who are at a higher risk for osteoporosis
Easy to Make: All you need is a blender, a few key ingredients, and about 10 minutes to put this together.
Rich Espresso Flavor: A hint of espresso complements the chocolate, adding depth without overpowering the flavour.
Vegan-Friendly: This mousse is dairy-free, making it ideal for anyone with dietary restrictions or those just looking to reduce dairy intake.
