Ingredients
Mousse
- 1 cup Thick yogurt *greek yogurt or coconut yogurt works
- 1 package freeze dried strawberries
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 scoop of your favorite vanilla or strawberry protein *see notes
- 1-2 tbsp milk, as needed - omit if you're not using protein powder **See notes
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping ideas
- coconut whipped cream
- Cacao nibs
- chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the freeze dried strawberries to the food processor and process a minute or two until it creates a powder.
- Add in the remaining ingredients, blending another minute or two until super smooth. Taste the mixture & adjust as needed (more maple syrup, etc). ** If you're usig protein powder, you'll want to add in 1 tbsp of milk when you add in the other ingredients. Depending on the brands you use, you may want to add another tbsp. You want the mixture to be thick but not SUPER thick.
- Add the mixture to your jar and top with coconut whipped cream.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
Notes
*Protein is totally optional! If using greek yogurt, i'd just leave it out as it's already high in protein. If using coconut yogurt, I like to add 1/2 scoop in.
**Use your best judgement when adding milk! Blend all of the other ingredients in first, then check the texture. It should be thick, but not sticky thick, if that make sense. You'll want it to be thick and smooth. I like adding a tbsp!
