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!
