Dessert: Spiced poached pear with vanilla and cinnamon protein mousse
The poached pear provides a particularly soft texture, while the protein mousse increases the protein content without significantly increasing the volume. Serve as a small portion and adjust the quantity according to individual tolerance.
The sweetness comes naturally from the pear and, depending on the protein powder used, from the vanilla protein powder. No sugar, honey or syrup is needed.
