Here is a light, dreamy, and high-protein recipe for White Chocolate & Strawberry Protein Mousse! It satisfies your sweet tooth while packing a serious protein punch, and it comes together in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
-
The Mousse Base:
-
1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (Greek yogurt provides the thick, creamy texture and a heavy dose of protein)
-
1 scoop (about 30g) white chocolate protein powder (or vanilla protein powder with a tiny splash of vanilla extract)
-
2 tablespoons milk (any kind, used to thin out the protein powder if needed)
-
-
The Strawberry Element:
-
½ cup fresh strawberries, diced (plus a few slices saved for topping)
-
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to sweeten the berries if desired)
-
-
The Finishing Touches:
-
1 tablespoon mini white chocolate chips or a small drizzle of melted white chocolate
-
A sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or granola for a bit of crunch (optional)
-
Instructions
1. Mix the Protein Base
-
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and your scoop of white chocolate protein powder.
-
Whisk or stir vigorously until the protein powder is completely incorporated, smooth, and lump-free. (If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until you reach a smooth, fluffy mousse consistency.)
2. Prep the Strawberries
-
In a small separate bowl, gently toss your diced fresh strawberries with the honey or maple syrup if you want them extra sweet and juicy.
3. Layer the Mousse
-
Spoon half of the white chocolate protein mousse into the bottom of a glass, jar, or serving bowl.
-
Add a layer of the diced fresh strawberries right on top of the mousse.
-
Spoon the remaining protein mousse over the strawberries, creating a layered dessert effect.
4. Top and Serve
-
Garnish the top with your saved fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of white chocolate chips, and a little crunch (like graham cracker crumbs) if you like.
-
You can enjoy it immediately, or pop it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to let it chill and firm up even more!
Pro-Tip for Maximum Fluffiness

The Whipped Cottage Cheese Trick: If you want an even lighter, airier texture, you can blend ½ cup of cottage cheese until completely smooth before mixing it in with the Greek yogurt and protein powder. It adds extra protein and creates an incredible texture!
