These high protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Cups are an absolute staple in my diet right now. I don’t generally count my macros, calories, steps or anything, but I do know that I can always benefit from more protein. And these four ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Cups are so good! Let’s break down these ingredients.
Because you are adding the PB2 instead of actual creamy peanut butter, they have more of a mousse texture and I absolutely love it! Want even more protein? You could absolutely add a scoop of protein powder – either vanilla or plain – whatever flavor and kind floats your boat. Why PB2 instead of real peanut butter? Well, besides the texture, adding PB2 offers benefits like lower fat and calories, higher protein concentration, and greater versatility compared to real peanut butter. Yup, we’ll take that!
Several years ago, one of my trainers told me to eat Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt if I wanted to get in more protein, and it just kind of stuck with me all these years. Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla yogurt offers several benefits, including being a high-protein snack with 15g of protein per serving that supports muscle maintenance and helps you feel full. It contains 0% fat, 0g of added sugar, and 0 artificial sweeteners. It is also a source of calcium and Vitamin D.
The homemade hard chocolate shell (chocolate chips and coconut oil) is just for added deliciousness! 😉
Below I linked everything I used to make these fun little high protein snacks. I included the great little 6 ounce glass yogurt jars. They are the perfect size and both the tops and bottoms are dishwasher safe. Also, they don’t have the stupid little plastic rings around the inside of the top. You know what I mean? I hate those. LOL
