Introduction


Indulge in a luscious High-Protein Chocolate Mousse Parfait that’s as decadent as dessert gets—without derailing your fitness goals. Layers of creamy chocolate mousse, rich Greek yogurt, and a hint of crunch make this parfait the perfect ending to your day.


Ingredients


For the Chocolate Mousse:

• 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plain)

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (Shop here)

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

• 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter (Shop here)

• 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)


For the Parfait Layers:

• 1/2 cup granola or crushed high-protein cereal (Try high-protein options here)

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• Optional toppings: Dark chocolate shavings, nuts, or berries


Instructions

1. Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, powdered peanut butter, almond milk, and sweetener (if using). Whip until smooth and fluffy.

2. Chill the Mousse:

• Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set and develop its rich texture.

3. Assemble the Parfaits:

• In glass ramekins (Shop here), layer 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate mousse at the bottom.

• Add a layer of granola or crushed high-protein cereal.

• Spoon in a layer of Greek yogurt.

• Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of chocolate mousse on top.

4. Add Toppings:

• Garnish with dark chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of nuts, or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
