What a fantastic idea! I think bananas and raspberries make a wonderful combination but the addition of almonds makes it perfect!

Thank you Mihl! This combination works really well, the result is better than I expected.

Well, that just looks (and sounds) amazing. And it’s all raw, right? I’m assuming almond meal is ground almonds? I could make this on one of my raw days as an awesome dessert.

Yes Bianca, it’s all raw. The almond meal has to be very fine (probably ‘flour’ is a better word to describe the powdery texture, in this case). You can buy it already made or you can make it yourself if you have a very powerful food processor. The almond butter holds everything together and makes the mousse rich and creamy.
