This mousse supports relaxation and mood through healthy fats from avocado, mood-enhancing antioxidants in dark chocolate, with calming effects of the lavender which helps reduce anxiety and promote restful sleep and nervous system support.

Pinch of sea salt

Warm Milk & lavender over low heat; do not boil—strain lavender.
