Chocolate Protein Mousse is the perfect healthy dessert that is also indulgent. It's easy to make, thick and a delicious way to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
This protein chocolate mousse is indulgent but also good for you too. The chocolate flavor is beyond tasty, an easy to make recipe using just a few ingredients.
By using Greek yogurt, that helps keep this mousse low calorie while still giving a thick and creamy texture.
Adding both chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder, the chocolate flavor is strong, rich and delicious!

What makes this chocolate pudding unique?
One of the most unique aspects to this recipe is that it doesn't have any added sugar besides what is in the protein powder (if any) and the chocolate chips that you add on top (which is also optional).
While this recipe makes three servings, you could eat more then one at once and not feel guilty about it!
Make this recipe to have on hand whenever the craving hits or bring to your next gathering with friends or family. Trust me, everyone will be praising you for it!
