    Mousses are delicious, even though I know some people that dislike its texture and more, but they can be very healthy, I recommend trying some mousse made with broccoli to accompany a food with meat or rice, it?s pretty delicious and healthy. And well, all the sweet mousses are delicious too, especially the one of chocolate I love it!
