Oh man... okay, so fresh on the heels of reading about a ketogenic diet and my penchant for paleo high-fat foods, I came across
this recipe for a chocolate mousse. I needed some calories, as eating high-fat will seriously satiate you for hours with minimal cals. I'm trying to gain muscle so I can't be in a deficit calorie-wise - I also can't eat total crap either. So, I grabbed a can of coconut cream and refrigerated it overnight. I figured why not try to tackle my sweets-craving while I'm at it (did you know when you crave sweets and such you are usually deficit in some kind of nutrient? I'll attach a chart I found about it - it helps!) so I grabbed some baking cocoa for it's lovely magnesium content. I blended it all together with some cinnamon and topped it off with berries - crucial, as the cocoa makes this kind of bitter, but I tried to stick with more blackberries than anything as they're the lowest sugar-wise.
