Chocolate Protein Mousse is the perfect healthy dessert that is also indulgent. It’s easy to make, thick and a delicious way to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
This protein chocolate mousse is indulgent but also good for you too. The chocolate flavor is beyond tasty, an easy to make recipe using just a few ingredients.
By using Greek yogurt, that helps keep this mousse low calorie while still giving a thick and creamy texture.
Adding both chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder, the chocolate flavor is strong, rich and delicious!
Ingredient Notes
- Greek Yogurt
- Coconut Milk
- Cocoa Powder
- Chocolate Protein Powder
- Vanilla Extract
What makes this chocolate pudding unique?
One of the most unique aspects to this recipe is that it doesn’t have any added sugar besides what is in the protein powder (if any) and the chocolate chips that you add on top (which is also optional).
While this recipe makes three servings, you could eat more then one at once and not feel guilty about it!
Make this recipe to have on hand whenever the craving hits or bring to your next gathering with friends or family. Trust me, everyone will be praising you for it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use protein powder in this recipe?
Not at all! If you don’t want to use protein powder, omit and replace with a 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
Is this recipe vegan friendly?
This recipe is vegan if you use vegan protein powder or if you omit the protein powder altogether it is naturally vegan/plant-based.
Can I mix in other flavors/ingredients?
Yes! I suggest mixing in some peanut butter, mint extract (a little goes a long way), nuts, chocolate chips or anything your heart desires.
What are the best toppings to add to this recipe?
I love enjoying the protein mousse on it’s own but also will add fresh fruit or chocolate chips on top when desired.
How should I store this chocolate mousse?
Store in an airtight container for up to five days in the refrigerator or up to 1 month in the freezer.

I used vanilla protein powder, shredded coconut instead of milk, and added 1 T PB2 powder.
No added choc chips.
Fantastic!
