Easy Low Fat Mango Chia Mousse has only 100 calories per portion, it’s sweet from the natural sweetness of the mango and creamy from 0% Greek Yogurt. Chia seeds ensure that it holds together in a mousse-like texture. The bonus is that it really is simple to make using your blender.

Do you love dessert? I do, and although I only eat dessert on the weekends, it’s always challenging to find a recipe that has luscious mouthfeel but isn’t going to instantly pile on the pounds. This simple little mousse is the perfect end to your meal without the extra calories.
How to make Easy Low Fat Mango Chia Mousse
Prepare the mango by cutting off the flesh either side of the central stone and chop roughly and juice the lime.
Put the mango, lime juice, and honey into the jug of your blender. I use the Optimum Nutri Force Extractor which looks very much like other personal blenders but with 1000w of power at your fingertips you can whizz up your breakfast smoothie in 50 seconds.

THE FROOTHIE EVOLVE BLENDER
The latest addition to the Froothie Blender family is the Froothie Evolve which has a heating jug as well as all the advantages of a super-powerful blender.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE FROOTHIE EVOLVE BLENDER?
- You can steam vegetables in the blender using the heating jug and the steaming basket.
- You can make smooth or chunky soup in the heating jug, everything goes into the blender jug and the automatic programme does the rest.
- Tempered Glass Jugs means no more plastic in contact with your blended food.
- Vacuum Blending reduces oxidisation and blended mixtures do not separate or discolour.
- Voice Activation makes choosing the right programme really easy.

I love making desserts with chia seeds – it adds such a lovely texture. This mango dessert has me craving some summer sunshine.
Janice Pattie says
Yes, chia seeds are great for texture and also full of vitamins and minerals.
Choclette says
Ooh yum Janice. Love all those gorgeous tropical flavours you’ve used. My trouble with having six is, could I stop at only one?
Janice Pattie says
Well you do need to employ a little bit of self control 😉
Choclette says
That’s always the plan!
Claire Jessiman says
These sound lovely Janice, I always find Mango so refreshing. I’m afraid I havent bough into the whole Chia seed craze as yet!
Janice Pattie says
Yes, Mango is lovely and refreshing. I think you can overdo the chia seeds but if you keep it to a few teaspoons, it is really useful for thickening.
Jemma says
Mango is one of my favourite fruits, it always reminds me of tropical climates and sunshine. This is such a lovely chia mousse.
Janice Pattie says
Thanks Jemma, we love mangoes too.
