Cooking with Kimmi – Chocolate Cherry Creatine Protein Mousse

A thick, chocolatey dessert that feels much more like a treat than a “protein recipe”.

Ingredients – 2 serves

• 200g cottage cheese
• 150g Greek yoghurt
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 scoop creatine monohydrate
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1–2 tsp honeyor maple syrup
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup frozen or fresh cherries, pitted
• 1–2 tbsp milk, only if needed

Method

1. Add the cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt, protein powder, creatine, cocoa, honey and vanilla to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Add a splash of milk if it needs loosening.
4. Spoon into two glasses or bowls.
5. Top with the cherries.
6. Chill for 20–30 minutes if you want it extra thick.

Protein: roughly 30g+ per serve, depending on the protein powder and yoghurt used.

Why this one works:
You get the protein from both the cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt and protein powder, while the creatine disappears into the chocolate mixture without changing the flavour.

Kimmi's reminder:
Creatine doesn't need to be complicated. If you can turn it into something you actually look forward to eating, you're much more likely to stick with it.
