FAQs

Can I use regular protein powder instead of peanut butter flavored?

Yes, you can use any protein powder flavor you like. Vanilla or chocolate work well and will slightly change the overall taste.

Is this mousse suitable for people who are lactose intolerant?

This recipe uses cottage cheese, which contains lactose, so it may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance. You can try lactose-free cottage cheese or substitute with a plant-based yogurt.
