Healthy and easy Greek yogurt and cocoa powder mousse

A delicious, low fat and super easy dessert to satisfy your chocolate craving. It is high in protein as well, so it could be an ideal post-workout snack! I have it every evening and I love it. It is also a very “flexible” dessert, you can easily modify it according to your needs and preferences!

I totally recommend using it as a cupcake frosting too. It tastes amazing and you will have a lower fat cupcake!

• Do you prefer a higher fat version without added sweeteners? That’s a more appropriate version for gestational diabetes. You could use full fat Greek yogurt and skip the granulated sweetener!
• You could add vanilla essence, caramel flavour. Adding caramel flavour is my personal favourite option!
• You could use coconut yogurt for a vegan (but low protein) version.
• If you do not like honey, you can replace it with any added sugar-free syrup you love!
• You can replace the granulated sweetener by adding 5-6 mashed strawberries or any other fuit you find sweet.
