Healthy Lemon and Cottage Cheese Mousse

Healthy Lemon and Cottage Cheese Mousse

Delightful, protein‑rich mousse that balances the tartness of lemon with creamy cottage cheese, perfect for a quick breakfast or a light dessert.

• 1 cup low‑fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup plain low‑fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• Zest of 1 large lemon
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lemon zest

1. Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sea salt in a blender or food processor.
2. Pulsate until the mixture is silky and smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Transfer the mousse to chilled ramekins or a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld.
4. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh mint or extra lemon zest.

Health Tip: Cottage cheese is high in casein protein, which digests slowly, keeping you full longer and supporting muscle recovery after workouts.
