A quick, easy and creamy Peanut Butter Protein Mousse with protein powder, Greek yogurt and powdered peanut butter. Healthy powdered peanut butter mousse has no heavy cream or cream cheese, and is low calorie, low carb, keto and easily Vegan too!
"Oh flip!" Those were my exact words when I had a spoon of this protein mousse!
I am not even kidding here! Savored ¾ cup of this creamy peanut buttery deliciousness in one go, but it was fine because this mousse is actually super healthy and low fat.
The secret behind the low fat magic? I used peanut butter powder for extra protein and lower fat content.
A little extra insight I just got 5 years after posting this initial recipe - my now-husband actually used to make this on repeat for his post-lunch sweet-fix before we started dating after he saw me post it on Instagram <3
Ingredients for the Peanut Butter Protein Mousse:
- Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt for a high protein base, and probiotics for extra nutrients.
- Sub: Use regular Greek Yogurt or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
- Vanilla Protein Powder that replaces sugar used in regular recipes, to give you a high protein mousse!
I highly recommend Quest Whey-casein protein powder since it gives the mixture its signature thickness.- Sub: Whey protein can be an option, but the result might be too liquid-y.
- Sub 2: Use plant-based protein like KOS Plant-based Protein for a Vegan option. You might need to add a bit of sweetener like stevia, monkfruit or maple syrup (if you aren't watching sugars) to out some of the earthy flavor.
- Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. This is the secret a low fat mousse since it is made by extracting out the fat from the peanuts. I recommend PbFit Peanut Butter Powder or PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter here.
- Creamy Peanut Butter for that rich PB flavor. If you want even higher protein and lower calories, I recommend High Protein peanut butter from American Dream Nut Butter! You can get 10% off with my code too!

That's not mousse, that's greek yoghurt with protein powder....
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
Hi! The texture of this does come out light and fluffy like a mousse if you beat it well!
Melissa says
I used a chocolate protein powder in place of vanilla and used PB2 crunchy powder. Yes,it was quite yummy ?
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
OMG that sounds amazing! So happy the subs worked Melissa!
Nic says
Wonder how chocolate peanut butter, in place of reg peanut, would taste??
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
Ohhh! That actually sounds like a new recipe for me to try! Definitely adding it to my TODO list!
Sassy says
I like this but thinking there is a full scoop of protein powder out there that can be added to real peanut butter and greek yogurt for 141 calories is fantasy land.

Like what even are those macros?!? I'm literally amazed. I added some graham crackers to this for the crunch and entered dangerous territory. I could not stop eating it and now I want more!!!

Oh man! You might be getting me into that territory now too. A smooth protein mousse with that crunch really does sound amazing!
