Made with fresh raspberries, velvety Greek yogurt, and a boost of vanilla protein powder, this mousse delivers a delightful balance of tangy fruitiness and creamy richness. Chia seeds add a subtle crunch and a powerful punch of fiber, while honey or maple syrup rounds out the sweetness naturally. A touch of gelatin helps achieve the airy, silky texture that makes this mousse irresistible. Ready in just 20 minutes (plus chilling time), this protein-packed treat is ideal for post-workout snacks, light desserts, or even a refreshing summer indulgence. Serve it chilled in elegant glasses topped with fresh raspberries or mint leaves for a picture-perfect finish!
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Rinse the raspberries thoroughly and blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, collecting the seedless puree in a bowl.
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder until well combined and smooth.
Gently heat the raspberry puree in a small saucepan over low heat. Once slightly warm, stir in the bloomed gelatin until it completely dissolves.
Remove the raspberry mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, fold the raspberry mixture into the yogurt-protein powder blend and mix until combined.
Stir in the chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
Divide the mousse mixture evenly among four serving glasses or bowls.
Cover the servings with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, you can optionally garnish the mousse with a few fresh raspberries or mint leaves.
