Benefits of the Main Ingredients
Sugar-Free Strawberry Jelly
Sugar-free strawberry jelly provides a vibrant strawberry flavour and helps create the mousse's light, airy texture without adding large amounts of sugar.
Greek Yogurt
Fat-free Greek yogurt is an excellent source of high-quality protein while supplying calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and beneficial live cultures that support gut health. It creates a rich, creamy base for the mousse.
Gluten-Free Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
Vanilla whey protein boosts the protein content while creating a smooth, thick texture. It also contributes essential amino acids that support muscle maintenance and recovery.
Honey
Honey provides natural sweetness and contains small amounts of antioxidants, balancing the tanginess of the yogurt and enhancing the strawberry flavour.
Fresh Strawberry
Fresh strawberries provide vitamin C, fibre, manganese, and antioxidants while adding natural sweetness and a colourful garnish.

Autism-Friendly Benefits
The mousse has a soft, smooth, and consistent texture that many autistic individuals may find enjoyable. The sweetness can easily be adjusted by reducing or increasing the honey, while the fresh strawberry garnish can be served separately if preferred. Greek yogurt and whey protein provide high-quality protein and calcium to support healthy growth and muscle maintenance. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the flavour, texture, and toppings can easily be adapted to suit individual needs.
Tip
Top with extra fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, shaved dark chocolate, or a sprinkle of crushed gluten-free granola for added texture. Prepare individual portions in small jars and refrigerate for up to three days, making them perfect for meal-prep breakfasts, healthy desserts, or grab-and-go snacks throughout the week.
