- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk, and whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Add the vanilla-flavored casein protein powder and cocoa powder to the yogurt mixture. Stir until all the powder is dissolved and the mixture is creamy.

Once set, remove the mousse from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir to ensure uniform texture.
