Coach's Notes:
Texture Tip: For a chunkier mousse, blend the ingredients briefly or stir some by hand to maintain texture.
Protein Boost: To increase the protein content, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mix or top with Greek yogurt when serving.
Sweetness Variation: Depending on the sweetness of the chocolate you use and your preference, you should adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup. Always taste and adjust according to your liking.
Shelf Life: This mousse tastes best within 2-3 days. Ensure it's stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Remember, for precise nutritional information you'd need to use specific brands and measure ingredients accurately. Adjust as necessary to fit your needs!
