Chia mousse is a smooth, blended version of chia pudding that delivers all the fiber, protein, and omega-3 benefits of chia seeds without the usual gel-like texture, making it ideal if that texture isn’t your favorite. Here I am sharing 4 ways to make chia mousse with a simple base and a variety of add-ins to enhance the flavor. Each serving gives you about 10 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
Base Recipe (for all flavors)
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
Each flavor starts with the same simple base of chia seeds, hemp seeds, and non-dairy milk, usually almond milk. This combo delivers around 17 grams of carbs, 15 grams of fiber, and 10 grams of protein, and the exact numbers vary based on the milk and add-ins you choose. You can blend everything upfront or let it sit first and then blend, but blending from the start gives you the smoothest mousse.

Tips and Storage
For the best texture, let your chia mousse chill for at least an hour so it can fully thicken and set. Feel free to adjust the sweetness or consistency by adding a little more milk or maple syrup after blending. If you prefer a lighter mousse, blend for less time. For a thicker, dessert-style mousse, blend longer.
Store your chia mousse in airtight jars or containers and keep it refrigerated. It stays fresh for about 5 days, making it perfect for meal prep or grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
