Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Plain Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat)
- 30 grams Vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 15 milliliters Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 5 grams Gelatin powder
- 45 milliliters Cold water
- 50 milliliters Whipping cream (optional, for extra richness)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and slice into halves.
Step 2
Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once bloomed, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but not solidify.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla-flavored whey protein powder, and strawberry puree. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 6
Slowly add the dissolved gelatin mixture to the strawberry-yogurt mixture while whisking to ensure even distribution.
Step 7
If using whipping cream, beat it separately in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture to add extra fluffiness.
Step 8
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if needed, by gently stirring in honey or maple syrup.
Step 9
Divide the mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops with a spoon if desired.
Step 10
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Step 11
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves or an extra slice of strawberry for a decorative touch. Enjoy your high-protein strawberry mousse!
