Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 0.25 cup Whipping cream (optional, for fluffier texture)
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder (optional, for added structure)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped strawberries and blueberries until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

If using gelatin for added structure, dissolve 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms, then gently warm it in the microwave or over low heat until fully dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and fruit puree. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

If using, slowly whisk the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt and fruit mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

If you prefer a fluffier mousse, whip the whipping cream in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold it into the yogurt mixture.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by stirring in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, if desired.

Step 7

Divide the mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to firm up.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few extra berries for a decorative touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!
