In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped strawberries and blueberries until smooth. Set aside.
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.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and fruit puree. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
If using, slowly whisk the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt and fruit mixture until fully combined.
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.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by stirring in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Divide the mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to firm up.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few extra berries for a decorative touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!
