Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 4 jars

Ingredients

For the Protein Fluff

  • 2 cups (500 g) plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops (60 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup or preferred sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese (light)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Crushed low-carb granola
  • Cinnamon sprinkle
  • Lemon zest
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, whipped cream cheese, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, cinnamon, lemon zest, almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Beat with a hand mixer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, creamy, and fluffy.

Step 2: Fold in the Blueberries

Reserve a small handful of blueberries for topping. Gently fold the remaining blueberries into the protein mixture using a spatula. Stir carefully to avoid crushing all the berries, leaving some whole for juicy bites throughout the dessert.

Step 3: Adjust the Texture

If you’d like a thicker mousse-like consistency, stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. The chia seeds will naturally absorb moisture and create a richer texture.

Step 4: Fill the Jars

Divide the protein fluff evenly among four clean glass jars or dessert cups. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for a neat presentation.

Step 5: Chill

Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilling allows the flavors to blend together while creating an even creamier texture.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Before serving, top each jar with extra fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a little lemon zest, and a spoonful of crushed low-carb granola if desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used; thaw and drain excess liquid first.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor.
  • Blend half of the blueberries into the mixture for a stronger blueberry flavor and fold in the remaining berries for texture.
  • Add a tablespoon of whipped topping before serving for an extra indulgent finish.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep and makes an excellent post-workout snack.
  • For a muffin-inspired taste, add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze it?
Yes. Freeze for up to one month. Let it thaw slightly before enjoying for a creamy frozen treat.

Which protein powder works best?
Vanilla whey isolate creates the fluffiest texture, but casein or plant-based protein powders also work with slight texture differences.
