Dessert
A healthier alternative to traditional mousse made with cream, eggs and chocolate, this protein mousse is gluten free (using certified GF oats), higher protein thanks to Greenback protein powder, lower in fat and sugar and it’s also vegan! It’s rich and delicious and perfect to satisfy a sweet craving without the sugar crash.
This makes a great dessert but also a great breakfast, the low GI oats and Greenback protein will keep you feeling fuller for longer with the added health benefits of fibre, magnesium, thiamine and zinc. Using cacao powder will boost your antioxidants for an array of beneficial health benefits.
