Are you craving a creamy, indulgent dessert but want to keep it healthy and high in protein?  Whether you are looking for a refreshing post-workout snack or a light, indulgent dessert this peanut butter mousse for one will satisfy your sweet tooth, without any guilt. All for you, no need for sharing!

You haven’t lived until you have experienced peanut butter mousse. It’s thick yet airy, creamy yet rich, and loaded with sweet and subtly salty peanut butter flavor.  The best part? You don’t need a laundry list of ingredients or multiple kitchen gadgets to make the magic happen.

Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, this dessert is not only delicious and satisfying but also low in calories, high in protein, and easy to make. This recipe features an ingredient I know you will love…a seemingly wild but delicious ingredient. Its Peanut Butter Powder!

PB powder is made by removing most of the oil from roasted peanuts and grinding them into a fine powder, resulting in a low-fat, high-protein alternative to traditional peanut butter.

Try not to think of the PB powder as a diet ingredient. Just think of it as peanuts in another form. In this case, it adds such a depth of flavor without adding all the oily-ness that lots of PB normally brings. I’m obsessed!

The next ingredient we need to talk about is an underrated ingredient that is having a moment on the internet and could be the secret to the creamiest, most satisfying treats.

It’s packed with protein, ridiculously versatile, and works in everything from breakfast to dessert. I get it – cottage cheese used to have a reputation for being bland and, well, kinda lumpy. But when you blend it? Game changer.

This mousse recipe is smooth, rich, and naturally sweetened, with 20g of protein per serving. It’s got that peanut buttery goodness you crave, but instead of being heavy and overly sweet, it’s light, fluffy, and actually good for you. Oh, and did I mention it takes 5 minutes to make? Yep, it’s that easy.

Why I love this recipe:

6 ingredients. Count them yourself- and they are basic pantry staples.
No eggs needed. Unlike most mousse recipes, mine doesn’t require eggs, yet it’s every bit as light and creamy.
Easy to make ahead. I have made this mousse up to three days in advance, and you would never be able to tell.
Fun to customize. Turn it into a parfait. Layer the mousse between sheets of chopped nuts or granola and plain yogurt or whipped cream. Serve with crunchy toppings, use it as a filling or frosting,. This recipe is what YOU make of it.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean giving up desserts – it’s about making smarter choices! This mousse lets you enjoy a sweet,  creamy, and delicious treat while staying on track with your goals. Give it a try and discover just how amazing healthy desserts can be!

This healthy Peanut Butter Protein Mousse is the ultimate high-protein, low-calorie dessert for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without the guilt. Whether you are on a weight-loss journey, toning or building muscle, or just want a healthier alternative, this recipe is a must-try!
