πŸ‹ Lemon Blueberry Protein Mousse (Mediterranean-Inspired)

Looking for a light, creamy, and protein-packed treat that fits perfectly into your Mediterranean lifestyle? This Lemon Blueberry Protein Mousse is the perfect blend of tangy lemon πŸ‹, sweet blueberries 🫐, and creamy Greek yogurt. It’s refreshing, naturally sweetened (by fruit!), and comes together in minutes β€” no fancy equipment needed!

πŸ“ Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for that creamy Mediterranean texture)
  • Β½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen β€” whatever you have on hand!)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, about 30g)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice πŸ‹ (squeeze it yourself for that bright, natural flavor)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (adds a burst of citrusy aroma)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions:

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, blueberries, protein powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. (If using frozen berries, you might get a thicker, frosty texture β€” yum!)
  3. Taste and adjust: If you want it sweeter, feel free to add a drizzle of honey 🍯 or a few drops of stevia.
  4. Chill for 10–15 minutes in the fridge for the mousse to set a bit more, or enjoy it right away!
  5. Optional: Top with a few extra blueberries, a sprinkle of granola, or a mint leaf 🌿.
