Ingredients

1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt low fat or full fat
½ cup (40 g) chocolate protein powder or vanilla

Optional Ingredients

1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup if necessary, to taste
2 to 3 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt and chocolate protein powder. If using unflavored protein powder, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, depending on how sweet you want it.
Use a whisk or fork to mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Beat the mixture using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes. If you don't have an electric mixer, a hand whisk or hand mixer will work too, but you may need a few extra minutes, and the texture might be a little less airy.
Taste your mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed. You can add a little more maple syrup or a drizzle of honey until it's just right for you.
Serve right away with your favorite toppings, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

If using unflavored protein powder, adjust the taste with 1 - 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 2 - 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
I recommend using whey protein powder because it mixes better and produces a fluffier, smoother consistency.
Vegan protein powder and casein also work, but they may make the mousse thick. To avoid lumps and ensure the fluffiest texture, beat well until no more grains are left.
