Ingredients
-

-
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
-
Gradually add in the water or almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing as you go. This helps achieve the desired fluffy consistency.
-
For an extra smooth texture, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes until it becomes light and airy.
-
If you’d like a little extra sweetness, add honey or maple syrup to taste, then mix again.
-
Once the mixture has reached a fluffy, mousse-like texture, fold in the whipped topping (if using) for added creaminess and volume.
-
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes for a cooler, more firm consistency.
-
Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or a few chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch!

FAQs
1. Can I use chocolate milk instead of water or almond milk?
Yes, you can use chocolate milk, but keep in mind it will add some extra sugar and calories, which might affect the overall nutritional profile of the fluff.
2. Can I use a different protein powder flavor?
Absolutely! You can substitute the chocolate protein powder with vanilla or any other flavor you prefer. Just note that the flavor profile of the fluff will change accordingly.
3. Can I make this fluff without the whipped topping?
Yes, the whipped topping is optional and simply adds extra volume and creaminess. You can skip it, and the fluff will still be delicious and light.
4. Is there a vegan version of this recipe?
Yes, you can use plant-based protein powder (such as pea, soy, or brown rice protein) and dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
5. Can I add more protein powder to make it even higher in protein?
Yes, you can add more protein powder to suit your needs. Just make sure to adjust the liquid (water or almond milk) to maintain the right consistency.
6. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the protein fluff in advance and refrigerate it for later. It will firm up a bit in the fridge, and the flavor will only improve.
7. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can use regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives the fluff a thicker, creamier texture. If you use regular yogurt, the texture may be a bit lighter.
8. How do I make the fluff more chocolatey?
You can add more cocoa powder or an extra scoop of chocolate protein powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
9. Can I use a blender instead of mixing by hand?
Yes, you can use a blender to mix the ingredients, but be careful not to over-blend, as it may turn into a more liquid consistency. A hand mixer or stand mixer is often the best method to achieve that fluffy texture.
10. How do I adjust the sweetness of the protein fluff?
The sweetness is easy to adjust by adding more honey, maple syrup, or even a sugar substitute like stevia, depending on your preference.
