High protein chocolate mousse
Yummy high-protein chocolate mousse!
Naak Ultra Recovery Protein Powder does the job!
Admittedly, I am a sweet tooth. Although I aim to reduce insane insulin spikes by:
Eating a meal high in protein before the sweets,
eating complex carbs,
avoiding processed foods, refined flour, and sugars,
and swapping in high-protein alternatives!
As a female athlete, it’s crucial to obtain 30-40 grams of protein per meal to hit my protein target for optimal muscle recovery and synthesis. Women should aim for 1.7-2.4 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily! Due to our hormones, without protein available, we are often in a state of muscle catabolism. AKA our body breaks down our muscles. Heartbreaking, I know… Hence why I focus my meals on protein!
Here is the perfect example of a high-protein dessert, delicious and most friendly to most special diet types: High protein chocolate mousse.
Here’s the recipe for one serving = 48-50 grams of protein! Double it if you’re sharing. Feel free to add your flair.
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon monk fruit, stevia, molasses, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
3/4 cup milk of choice
grated ginger, candied ginger or powdered ginger to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla
Garnish with berries, coconut, or mint :)
