Quick-and-Easy Avocado Mousse
A great way to start your morning is with an avocado. This super-nutritious fruit is rich in potassium, fiber, and healthy fats. And now you can make it a highlight of your day with our delicious, easy-to-prepare Avocado Mousse!
Bright, refreshing, and full of flavor, you’ll love its creamy and light texture. It’s a simple mousse with minimal ingredients: creamy avocado, tangy yogurt, and a zesty kick of lime or lemon juice. And don’t forget a garnish of low-sugar berries, coconut flakes, nuts, and seeds.
Not nearly as sweet as most fruits, avocados are a good choice while following the Candida Diet. When shopping for avocados, look for ones that yield slightly to pressure when squeezed. A splash of lime or lemon juice perfectly complements the fruit and also keeps the light-green flesh from darkening.
This simple Avocado Mousse recipe makes one serving, but feel free to double or triple the recipe. You can share it with family or friends for breakfast, as a snack, or as a special, extra-healthy dessert. Enjoy!
- 1 avocado, peeled, seeded
- 1/2 cup unsweetened, plain yogurt
- 4 Tbsp. canned, full fat coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
- 1 tsp. lime or lemon zest (organic lime or lemon if possible)
- Stevia to taste

- In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add avocado, unsweetened plain yogurt, unsweetened canned full fat coconut milk and lime or lemon juice and zest. Pulse the ingredients until smooth, sweeten with stevia to taste.
- Place mousse in a serving dish or glass. Garnish with fresh blueberries, toasted sliced almonds, hulled pumpkin seeds and unsweetened coconut. Enjoy for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Avocado Mousse also makes a nice, light dessert.

I’m sure mine is a bit more watery than than the version above. I enjoyed it. Week one … getting used to “what to eat.” I’m grateful for your post Lisa.
I so appreciate the recipes. I remember 30+ yrs. ago doing the anti-Candida diet without the internet. I don’t feel alone alone.
So good! I will make it again. Thanks.
My husband and I loved the mousse….
