Why Sprouts in Dessert?

Sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They add a subtle crunch and boost the nutritional profile of this decadent dessert without compromising its luscious texture. For instance:

  • Organic Protein Mix (fava bean, mung bean, yellow pea) are packed with plant-based protein, supporting muscle recovery and satiety​​.
  • Organic Salad Mix (alfalfa, broccoli, radish, mung bean, green lentil) are brimming with phytonutrients that promote gut health and immunity​​.

Recipe: Sprouted Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1/4 cup almond or oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup sprouted Organic Protein Mix or Salad Mix
  • Garnishes: Fresh berries, shredded coconut, or additional sprouts

Instructions:

Step 1: Sprouting the Seeds:
  1. Soak: Add 1/4 cup of your chosen sprout seeds to your sprouter. Cover with water and soak for 8 hours.
  2. Rinse & Drain: Rinse thoroughly, drain the water, and tilt the sprouter for proper drainage.
  3. Grow: Rinse twice daily. Protein Mix sprouts are ready in 3–4 days; Salad Mix sprouts take 5–7 days.
Step 2: Making the Mousse:
  1. Blend Base: In a blender, combine avocados, cacao powder, maple syrup, almond/oat milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Sprouts: Gently fold in the sprouts to maintain their texture.
Step 3: Serving:
  1. Chill: Divide the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Garnish: Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or additional sprouts for added flavor and visual appeal.

Health Benefits in Every Spoonful

  1. Rich in Antioxidants: Cacao and sprouts contain antioxidants that combat oxidative stress, supporting overall health​​.
  2. Nutrient-Dense: Avocados provide healthy fats, while sprouts add essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber​​.
  3. Gut-Friendly: Broccoli and alfalfa sprouts, part of the Salad Mix, contain bioactive compounds that support gut health​​.

Easy Swaps & Variations

  • Sweetener: Replace maple syrup with agave nectar or date syrup.
