With busy spring days in mind, I created a five minute or less dessert recipe. Eat it on its own, put it in pie, use it as a filling, it’s divine! Plus, I love desserts that are actually good for you. This recipe is packed with protein.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different nut butter instead of almond butter?
Yes, you can substitute almond butter with other nut butters like peanut butter or cashew butter, but keep in mind the flavor will change.
How ripe should the bananas be for this mousse?
For the best flavor and sweetness, use very ripe bananas with brown spots; they will blend more smoothly into the mousse.
What can I use as a sweetener if I want to reduce sugar?
You can use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in moderation, or try ripe bananas as they provide sweetness without added sugar.
