Clare’s Berry High Protein Mousse
Submitted by Clare Pattison

When I added avocado to my breakfast shake, something amazing happened.  It turned into the most fabulous, creamy, frothy treat ever!  Now it rivals ANY dessert out there! 

 

Berry Mousse

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup non fat milk
• 1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder
• ½ cup chopped frozen strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries or combination
• ¼ cup frozen wild blueberries
• ½ avocado, chopped ♦ this is the secret ingredient - DO NOT leave it out! ♦
• ¼ cup chopped kale (Optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (Optional)
• Splenda (Optional )
• Dollop of Greek yogurt, whole berries, and mint leaves for garnish (Optional)

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients into blender and process on medium until well blended
2. Then blend on high to incorporate a lot of air and make it really thick and frothy
3. Spoon the wonderful mousse into your favorite crystal wine glass or fanciest cut glass bowl and sit somewhere comfy with a beautiful view and luxuriate in every spoonful!
4. To serve to guests top with a dollop of Greek yogurt garnish with berries and mint leaves

Makes one full-meal serving as a breakfast, or 4 dessert servings with added berries.

**Editor’s note: 
I based nutritional values On Big Train Fit Frappe Vanilla or Vanilla Latte protein powder and each un-garnished serving is around

• 390 calories and
• 30 grams of taste and soul satisfying protein.

*** Editor’s note 2: 
I usually use fresh fruit but for this recipe the frozen fruit is essential to achieve the desired texture.

Remember, if you add more berries or substitute a different protein powder (Fit Frappe is 130 calories and 20 grams protein) you will need to adjust the nutritional values.
