This Trim Healthy Mama-friendly Citrus Mousse is my new favorite thing and I don’t feel a wee bit guilty indulging in it all the time because, believe it or not, it’s a Fuel Pull!
Fuel Pulls are Trim Healthy Mama meals or dishes that are high in protein, but low in both carbohydrates and fat. Sometimes, Fuel Pulls are less enjoyable because they can be hard to flavor well, but this Citrus Mousse is a deliciously tasty treat…even if you typically hate Greek yogurt!
The flavor of Greek yogurt is disguised by whisking it into a much milder nut milk mixture that is flavored with orange extract (or use lemon, or if you prefer!), colored with a pinch of turmeric, and set with gelatin.
Made without any special ingredients, this Citrus Mousse only takes 5 minutes (plus setting time) to make! You’ll get 3 servings out of it, so it’s a handy recipe to have if you like to prep ahead.
This Citrus Mousse can be enjoyed by itself as a snack or breakfast, or enjoy it for dessert after either an E, S, or FP meal without crossing fuels.
This delicious Fuel Pull Citrus Mousse is a refreshing, high protein snack or dessert that you can enjoy with any fuel type. It's smooth and creamy (and doesn't taste at all like yogurt!) No special ingredients. Substitute lemon or pineapple flavorings for the orange extract (or use a combination!) for a different flavor. Gentle Sweet may be used instead of xylitol in half the amount, or Super Sweet in a quarter of the amount. Citrus Mousse | THM: FP

Notes
My other favorite Fuel Pull snack?
This 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cheesecake In A Bowl!
Do you think this recipe would work with almond milk?
yes, it would!
Would it work with oatmilk?
How does tumeric make it green? My tumeric is red/orange colored—almost a rust color.
Cooking turmeric turns it a yellowish green!
What makes it green?
The turmeric!
If I want to double the recipe do I double the gelatin as well?
Does Just Gelatin work the same as Knox Gelatin?
is it still fuel pull if you eat the whole batch?
Can I use Pyure as a sweetener. If yes how much?
I just made this, and it is in the fridge. I did not have turmeric. Besides the health benefit and the color, does the turmeric add a lot to the dish in the way of flavor?
Oh, yum! This is delicious and so easy to make! Thank you!
I definitely will be playing with other flavors, as well.
Made with coconut milk (from the carton). Didn’t say how long to boil the milk, sweetener and turmeric. Just put it in the fridge and mine is still yellow/orangish. Did I not cook it long enough?
