Ingredients
1 scoop (approx. 30g) Vanilla or Cookie Dough whey-casein blend protein powder
1/2 cup (120g) Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup (60ml) Unsweetened almond milk (cold)
1/2 tsp Sugar-free instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix (acts as a stabilizer)
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum (the secret ingredient for high-volume fluff)
1 tsp Zero-calorie sweetener (to taste)
1/2 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp Sugar-free mini chocolate chips (optional, for cookie dough crunch)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Fruit Layer: Place the fresh or frozen blueberries directly at the bottom of a large 32 oz Mason jar, pressing down gently with a spoon to release a little bit of juice.
2. Combine Mousse Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine the protein powder, nonfat Greek yogurt, cold unsweetened almond milk, sugar-free instant pudding mix, xanthan gum, and zero-calorie sweetener.
3. Whip to Cloud Volume: Beat on high speed using a whisk attachment or food processor for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch as the mixture thickens, traps air, and doubles into a fluffy, voluminous cloud mousse.
4. Fold in Mix-Ins (Optional): Gently fold in half of the sugar-free mini chocolate chips into the whipped mousse.
5. Layer & Serve: Spoon the airy mousse over top of the blueberry layer inside the Mason jar. Top with the remaining mini chocolate chips and enjoy immediately with a long spoon!
Chef’s Tips
Use Xanthan Gum: Just 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum is what creates that massive, airy texture when whipped with liquids—don’t skip it if you want max volume!
Use a Whey-Casein Blend: Casein protein absorbs liquid and whips up much thicker and creamy than 100% whey isolate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work great. Microwave them for 15 seconds first to loosen their natural juices so they form a sweet, jammy layer at the bottom of the jar!
