Greek Chocolate Mousse

For those of you that have yet to try this combination, this Greek chocolate mousse is an absolute game changer! For the perfect texture and the best taste, I would strongly recommended Fage Total Greek Yoghurt (5% fat). It works brilliantly with any chocolate-flavoured whey protein to create a creamy chocolate mousse; however, the cookies and cream, vanilla, and strawberry whey protein flavours also work as a great substitute.

This protein-rich snack is a brilliant pre-bed meal option, particularly for those that tend to eat their last meal earlier in the evening and are interested in maximising their muscle mass. Due to its high protein content and satiating effects, it can also work well as a snack, sweet treat or desert replacement for those looking to keep their calorie allotment in check.

Please note that the quantities provided can be adjusted to suit personal goals and dietary preferences.

Kcal 325 | Protein 41g | Carbohydrate 14g | Fat 12g

Ingredients:

• 200g Total Greek yoghurt
• 30g chocolate brownie whey
• Additional topping suggestion – pomegranate

Methods:

1. Simply add the whey to the Greek yoghurt and mix well until it is a consistent, creamy texture throughout. It is worth doing this in a large, deep bowl to avoid making a mess!
2. Eat as is, or add a topping of your choice (pomegranate, mixed berries or blueberries work really well).

*Valuable FAT LOSS tool suggestion There are numerous methods to encourage weight loss (specifically, fat-related weight loss), with the best method likely to be the one that leads to the greatest adherence. Why? In order for fat loss to occur, it is necessary to create a negative energy balance for an extended period of time. Fundamentally, to lose body fat, one must restrict energy (calorie) intake, increase energy expenditure, or a combination of both. ____ Now, whilst the common fat loss advice to “eat less and move more” is theoretically correct (if one succeeds in creating an energy imbalance), the message is often ineffective in practice when extrapolated by members of the general public as it fails to account for the tools that motivate behaviour and mindful eating. ____ One such method that may help people looking to lose weight AND support weight maintenance is to consume a high protein diet. A high(er) protein diet can be adopted as a valuable tool in the fat-loss arsenal due to its satiating effects (feelings of fullness following a meal) and its effects on integrated systems in the brain that regulate body fat levels. ____ Protein’s effects on appetite control can be particularly beneficial for those who do not track calories as it may lead to a subsequent spontaneous reduction in energy (calorie) intake. Including a high quality protein source at breakfast (a meal that typically contains the least protein) and/or snacks throughout the day is a simple and pragmatic approach to increasing dietary protein intake. ____ N.B. – It is worth bearing in mind that if you are looking to lose body fat and you are surrounded by hyper-palatable and rewarding foods (e.g. junk-type foods), you may want to consider improving your food environment first before implementing a high protein diet to help facilitate weight loss and weight loss maintenance. ____ Practical meal and snack suggestions soon to follow. 🍗🍤🍳🍖 #nutritionist #nutrition #fatloss #protein #highproteindiet #highproteinsnack #nutrition #food #instafit #instafood #bodycomposition
