Note: This recipe can be a helpful part of a balanced plan, but weight loss results vary from person to person.

Ingredients (1–2 servings)

  • 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
    or thick sugar-free yogurt
  • 1–2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1–2 tbsp powdered sweetener (erythritol/stevia/monk fruit), to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–4 tbsp milk (or almond milk) to adjust thickness (optional)

Optional add-ins

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (makes it thicker + more filling)
  • 1–2 tbsp peanut butter powder (or a small spoon of nut butter)
  • 1–2 tbsp chia seeds (for a thicker, more “pudding” texture)
  • Dark chocolate shavings (sugar-free) for topping

How to Make It

  1. Mix the base: In a bowl, add Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Whisk until smooth: Mix well until the cocoa fully dissolves and the color becomes even.
  3. Adjust texture: If it’s too thick, add a little milk (1 tbsp at a time).
  4. Chill (optional but best): Refrigerate 10–20 minutes for a thicker mousse texture.
  5. Serve: Top with berries, shaved dark chocolate, or crushed nuts if desired.

Tips for the Best Mousse

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest result.
  • If using protein powder, start with ½ scoop, then adjust sweetness.
  • Prefer it “fluffy”? Whisk for 60–90 seconds or use a hand mixer.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.

Nutrition Notes (General)

This mousse is typically:

  • High in protein (especially with Greek yogurt/protein powder)
  • Lower in sugar than traditional mousse
  • More satisfying than many desserts because of the protein content
