Description
A rich and creamy chocolate mousse that’s packed with protein, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while supporting muscle recovery.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (360 ml) Greek yogurt (non-fat or low‑fat)
- 2 scoops (about 60 g) chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more milk or sweetener as desired.
- Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill.
- Before serving, top with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or chopped nuts if desired.
Notes
- Use full‑fat Greek yogurt for an even richer texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute with dairy‑free yogurt and plant‑based protein powder.
- Adjust sweetness to taste; the protein powder may already be sweetened.
- Chill time can be extended to 1–2 hours for a firmer mousse.
- Best consumed within 2–3 days of preparation.
