6. add 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
7. blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. transfer the mousse to a container, spreading it out evenly.
9. place the container in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

nutritional benefits

this mousse isn’t just tasty; it’s also packed with nutrients.

the avocado provides healthy fats and fiber, while the silken tofu offers a good amount of protein and all nine essential amino acids.

the protein powder adds an extra protein boost, making this dessert a great option for post-workout recovery or a healthy snack.

the date syrup adds natural sweetness along with vitamins and minerals.

protein content

depending on the type of protein powder you use, this mousse can contain anywhere from 15-25 grams of protein per serving.

this makes it an excellent high-protein dessert option that can help keep you full and satisfied.

add-in options

you can customize this mousse to suit your tastes by adding different mix-ins or toppings. here are a few ideas:

• top with fresh berries or sliced bananas for added freshness and flavor
• sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture
• add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist
• mix in some shredded coconut or cocoa nibs for extra texture and flavor

how to store it

store your chocolate protein mousse in an airtight container in the fridge.

it will keep for up to 5 days, making it a great option for meal prepping desserts or snacks.

if you prefer a firmer texture, you can also store it in the freezer and let it thaw slightly before eating.

substitution options

this recipe is versatile and can accommodate various dietary needs and preferences. here are some substitution ideas:

• if you don’t have date syrup, you can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or another liquid sweetener of your choice.
• for a lower-fat option, you can replace the avocado with an additional 8 ounces of silken tofu.
• if you’re allergic to soy, try using a coconut-based yogurt or a thick oat-based yogurt in place of the silken tofu.
• for a different flavor profile, experiment with different types of protein powder, such as chocolate or peanut butter flavored.
