Ingredients

• 2 scoops Vanilla-flavored protein powder
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Liquid sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder or agar-agar with 2 tablespoons of water. Let it bloom (hydrate) for about 5 minutes.

Heat the bloomed gelatin or agar-agar gently over low heat, stirring until completely dissolved. Set aside and allow it to slightly cool, but not harden.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, liquid sweetener, vanilla extract, and vanilla-flavored protein powder until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

If using chilled coconut cream, gently fold it into the mixture to enhance the mousse's creamy texture.

Step 5

Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin or agar-agar into the yogurt mixture, whisking continuously to combine thoroughly.

Step 6

Transfer the mousse mixture into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly.

Step 7

Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream. Enjoy!
