Low Carbers High Protein Mousse Dessert

It was time to eat and I was only mildly hungry. 8 days into this low carb deal and I see that I'm going to need some new food choices soon - love the things I can eat, don't get me wrong. Just didn't want any more eggs, jerky or cheese - my snack-like staples from last week. I mixed myself up a treat - first sweet sort of thing I've eaten in a while, fun for a change. (Those of you who eat regular desserts won't be jumping up and down with this one, others might.)

1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 Scoop favorite protein powder, any flavor

Mix. Simple, huh? Seriously, tastes an awful lot like chocolate mousse!

I used chocolate, and with the info on the labels, found 275 calories, 28 grams protein, 4.5 grams carbs, 16 grams fat.

I tested with the Splenda artificial sweetener - it's a sugar based sweetener called sucralose. I didn't like it as well as plain, but those who like things sweeter, will probably like it quite well.
