Vanilla Breakfast Mousse
Whilst I love my smoothie bowls, it’s getting to that point in the year where eating something frozen leaves me feeling chilled to the bone for hours…so I needed an alternative to when I wasn’t feeling like oats.
Enter this divine creation: vanilla mousse! It’s super thick, light and fluffy, absolutely packed full of protein, calcium and omega 3 fats, and very filling too. The definition of dessert for breakfast!!
Another reason I love it is the fact it takes mere seconds to make, with only 3 simple ingredients. No pre-preparation and planning needed. We love to see it!
Paired with your favourite fresh fruits, some crunchy granola or nuts and seeds on top, I could think of a better way to start the day.
This recipe makes 1 serve.
Ingredients:
1/2 block (150g) silken tofu
2 tbsp (20g) vanilla vegan protein powder, see Notes
1 tbsp flaxmeal
Fresh fruit, granola and other toppings of your choice, to serve
Method:
Drain your tofu, then add it to a blender or food processor together with the protein and flaxmeal.
Blend until super smooth and creamy, then allow to sit for 5 minutes whilst you chop up your fruit. It will thicken up during this time!
Spoon mousse into a bowl and add all of your toppings. Enjoy!
Notes:
You can totally get creative with this recipe and add in some other flavouring ingredients, such as cacao powder, peanut butter, lemon or orange zest, or use a different flavour protein powder. I’m sure I will be sharing many variations of this in the near future!!
I used Macro Mike protein powder which is my absolute favourite not only for the flavour but also the texture and smoothness, making it perfect for recipes like this. My code is amb-nina for a cheeky discount!
