High Protein Chocolate Mousse

chocolate dessert high protein low carb recipes Oct 03, 2024

I do love a good chocolate mousse and there are plenty of recipes out there. 

I play around a lot with chocolate mousse recipes typing to get the right texture, flavour and macros to help with long lasting health and weight loss.

This one is a goodie and I love it because it has buckets of protein which keeps you really full. 

 

I shared this recipe as a video on our Instagram page a few weeks ago.

In general, we recommend a savoury breakfast because the research suggests that eating a savoury breakfast is helpful for long lasting weight loss. 

But I know that not everyone likes a savoury breakfast so here is a sweet option that will keep you full for hours and hours. 

You can also use it as a dessert but you wouldn’t need the whole serving.

 

There are heaps of variations. 

  • Mocha Chocolate Mousse - Add a shot of coffee (reduce the water) or a teaspoon of coffee powder 
  • Choc Mint Chocolate Mousse - Add a couple of drops of Peppermint essence
  • Peanut Butter Mousse - Top with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter 

 

Recipe for High Protein Chocolate Mousse

  • 3 cold boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup of cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup of Sweetener. I used the erythritol and monk fruit from @lakantoaustralia
  • 1/4 cup of cocoa
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 Tsp vanilla essence
  • Sprinkle of sea salt

 

Instructions

  1. Blend for 2-3 minutes in a blender and you have the most delicious high protein chocolate mousse
  2. Eat straight away or pop it in the fridge to “set”
  3. Delicious with berries

This is a bit cheesy but I wanted to remind you that good health is not a destination. It is an ongoing journey. 

I love to use the metaphor of gardening. When we plant a garden it’s a little bit like doing a reset. So you may have done The four week Body Rebalance or even The 12 week Mind Body Rebalance. These programs are are like planting a garden. 

We feel excited, we are hopeful. We are looking forward to the results. 

But the truth is we still need to manage the garden-i.e We need to do some gardening!

 

We need to make sure it has 

❇️ Enough fertiliser,

❇️ Enough water

❇️ Enough sunlight.

❇️ We need to weed the garden.

 

If we stop gardening,  the garden turns into a jungle.

Remember we don’t need to garden every day, but we do need to do it regularly. 

Exactly the same principles apply to health.

This is why we have created Momentum, our ongoing membership for women. It’s a way to keep us focussed during the busyness of life.
