High-Protein Peanut Butter Mousse (3 Ingredients!)

Lisa Kidd

If you’re looking for a quick, high-protein dessert that feels indulgent, this peanut butter mousse is going to become a favorite.

One of my YouTube subscribers recently sent me a recipe for a 3-ingredient peanut butter mousse, and I knew I had to try it. Of course, I put my own spin on it to make it more bariatric-friendly.

The original recipe used maple syrup, but I substituted Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Salted Caramel Sauce to keep the sugar lower while adding even more flavor.

The result is a rich, creamy mousse that tastes delicious — and you honestly can’t taste the cottage cheese at all!

Ingredients

8 oz cottage cheese
1/8 cup natural peanut butter
1½ tablespoons Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Salted Caramel Sauce

Optional topping:
Melted dark chocolate

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, and salted caramel sauce to a blender.

Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. This step is important so the mousse has a silky texture.

Spoon the mousse into a small bowl and drizzle a little melted dark chocolate over the top.

Place the bowl in the freezer until the chocolate hardens.

Once the chocolate shell is firm, crack it with a spoon and enjoy your delicious high-protein dessert.

Viral Japanese Cookie Yogurt Cheesecake (Low Sugar Version)

Lisa Kidd

If you’ve been scrolling social media lately, you’ve probably seen the viral Japanese cheesecake made with cookies and yogurt. I couldn’t resist trying it—but of course, I put my Bariatric Living 101 spin on it.

For my version, I used Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt paired with Voortman’s Sugar-Free Shortbread Cookies to keep the sugar low while still getting that rich, cheesecake-like texture. Once layered, I drizzled melted peanut butter and Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Caramel Sauce over the top, then finished it off with a crumbled shortbread cookie for a little crunch.

After letting it chill in the refrigerator for about 6 hours, the dessert firms up beautifully and tastes incredibly indulgent—without the sugar crash.

This is a great option when you want something sweet that still aligns with a low-carb, bariatric-friendly lifestyle. It’s simple, no-bake, and perfect for those moments when you want dessert without guilt.
