    Like my Chocolate Protein Mousse, this Vanilla Bean Protein Mousse is light, creamy, and delicious!

    The green color comes from avocado, which is one of the main ingredients here. It makes for such a smooth mousse. I'd like to say that you don't taste the avocado at all, but I suppose if you particularly don't like avocado, you'd taste it.

    Vanilla Avocado Mousse

    With such a simple list of ingredients, the flavor from the vanilla bean seeds really stands out. If you're new to vanilla beans, here is a video tutorial on how to get the seeds out.

    When you're in the mood for a creamy dessert, give this protein mousse a try. The simple flavor combination is just delicious!

    🥣 Recipe

    • 1 avocado about 1 cup, 150g

    • seeds of ½ vanilla bean

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: A whey/casein blend would also work well here. I haven't found a vegan vanilla protein powder that I would recommend for this recipe.
