Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse
This quick and easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse is the perfect start to your day – it’s packed with protein and is an awesome way to stay satisfied throughout your morning!
I’m not really sure that Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse is the right title for this protein-filled snack.
But “fluffy chocolate whipped Greek yogurt layered with creamy peanut butter Greek yogurt topped with chocolate and peanut butter granola” seemed like too much of a mouthful.
Historically, I’m an oatmeal eater for breakfast, but every now and then I get bored and need to switch things up a bit. But if I don’t have some protein in the mornings, I can be a real bear {just ask the Tall Boy}. Greek yogurt usually fits the bill when I’m looking for something different to jazz up my morning routine. And topped with granola? Well, even better – especially when that granola boasts 10 grams of protein per ½ cup serving size!
Nature ValleyTM Protein Granola is a versatile product that can be added on top of many other foods or used as an ingredient. For my protein-packed breakfast, I layered Greek yogurt (half spiked with cocoa powder and a bit of vanilla and the other half with powdered peanut butter) with Nature ValleyTM Protein Granola Peanut Butter ‘N Dark Chocolate.
So.Crazy.Good.
I ate this for breakfast last Monday and it actually kept me satisfied until lunchtime – typically, I’m rustling around for a snack at my desk by mid-morning.
With clusters of whole grain oats, dark chocolate pieces (!!), and a touch of peanut butter, this is a great way to add protein throughout your day. Believe me, if you’re a chocolate and peanut butter lover, you need to give this quick and easy breakfast a try!
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, divided
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons powdered peanut butter OR regular creamy peanut butter
- Nature ValleyTM Peanut Butter 'N Dark Chocolate Protein Granola
- Whisk 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and ¼ teaspoon vanilla into ½ cup of vanilla Greek yogurt until smooth. Add sweetener to taste, if desired (I did not).
- Mix 2 teaspoons of powdered peanut butter (or regular peanut butter) into remaining ½ cup of Greek yogurt.
- Layer chocolate yogurt and peanut butter yogurt into a bowl or glass. Top with Nature ValleyTM Peanut Butter 'N Dark Chocolate Protein Granola - as much as you'd like! I think it would be great mixed in between the layers, also.

Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
