I will admit I am not the best about always getting in my protein. So, I like to sneak it in how I can and dessert is always a good option. This High Protein Chocolate Silken Tofu Mousse (vegan) is a delicious way to get your protein in.
The secret protein ingredient in this mousse is silken tofu. However, if you don't like tofu, don't be dissuaded from try this. It is blended up and you can not taste it at all, I promise. My boyfriend hates tofu and he loves this dessert.
Silken tofu is an amazing ingredient. For more yummy silken tofu recipes try my vanilla silken tofu pudding or my copycat panera mac and cheese.
