Creamy Chocolate Chia Mousse
Who said you can’t enjoy drool-worthy desserts on the keto diet? Pooey on them! If you love chocolate and who doesn’t and still want a guilt-free treat after dinner (or any time of the day, really), this chocolate chia mousse fits the bill perfectly!
You can whip up this delectable sugar-free dessert in under 15 minutes.
Is this healthy chocolate mousse keto-friendly
I’d love to tell you that this chocolate chia mousse is 100% keto-friendly, but I’d be lying. While it is most certainly much lower in carbs than most regular desserts, it still has a slightly higher carb count than a keto dessert should have.
But with that said, if you watch your carb count throughout the day, this treat should still be safe to enjoy guilt-free.
