Ingredients

1 servings
  • 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1.5 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp sweetener (e.g., maple syrup, stevia) — or to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (any kind) — for consistency
  • mini chocolate chips — for garnish, optional

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sweetener.
  2. Stir well to combine, adding milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture reaches a smooth, mousse-like consistency.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set slightly.
  4. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with mini chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.

Why This Works

This mousse delivers 39g protein by stacking Greek yogurt (17g per cup), protein powder (~12g per half scoop), and peanut butter (7g per 1.5 tbsp). Chilling for 30 minutes lets the cocoa hydrate and the flavors meld—it also firms up the texture to something closer to actual mousse.

Make It Your Own

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for richer texture. Swap chocolate protein for vanilla and skip cocoa for a vanilla-PB version. Top with banana slices, granola, or dark chocolate chips. Keeps refrigerated for 2-3 days.
