If you’re a sweet breakfast lover, you’ve got to try this banana mousse. Bananas are a great source of fiber and potassium, and the chia seeds make the mousse more protein-dense and filling. Plus, these can be prepared in under 20 minutes.

Start by blending together almond milk and protein powder. Once it’s combined, you’ll add vanilla extract, a banana, and chia seeds to the mixture. You can add other ingredients like dates, peanut butter, or honey for taste. You can prepare jars to keep for later by layering granola, bananas, and your mousse.

Our banana mousse recipe with chia seeds makes 3 servings, but you can always double the ingredients for a larger batch. If you do not pre-soak your chia seeds, remember to let the mousse sit in the fridge for the chia to expand and soften up.

A filling breakfast can be more than pancakes, waffles, and pastries. The ultimate breakfast should hit all the important food groups: protein, carbs, and fats. However, the ultimate breakfast won’t slow you down throughout the day. That means you need a high-calorie meal with complex carbs and protein.
