Copycat Mamma Chia Squeeze

by Shavonne Morrison
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Mamma Chia Squeeze Packs come in a convenient little pouch that you can drink from. It’s made from fruit purees and juices, combined with heart-healthy chia seeds! Chia seeds are a food that I incorporate into many of my snacks and breakfasts due to their versatility and extra nutrition they provide! They are full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.

I felt like this would be an easy snack to make at home, so I had to try to make a dupe! Throughout the creation of this copycat, I’ve struggled with one question…how does one eat this? I thought I had to answer that question before I posted this recipe, but I decided…you guys are smart, you’ll figure it out! I went with a spoon as you’ll see in the pictures to follow. But you could totally drink it through a straw, too.

On that note, the texture here is the thing that differentiates it from chia seed pudding or chia drinks. It’s right in between those two consistencies. It’s thin enough to drink, but thick enough to eat with a spoon too. If you’ve never tried Mamma Chia Squeeze Packs, I hope you’re able to imagine the consistency I’m describing here. I guess you’ll just have to try it to find out ;)!

What Are Mamma Chia Squeeze Packs?

Mamma Chia Squeeze Packs are a convenient, delicious snack. They come in disposable pouches that are shelf-stable (well, until you open it!) and can be taken on road trips, hikes, in a lunchbox, or anywhere else you keep snacks when you’re on-the-go!

Can I Use Other Fruits Besides Blueberries?

Yes! I tried strawberries as well with this recipe, and they didn’t have as much flavor as the blueberries but still tasted delicious. You can experiment with different fruits or fruit and vegetable combos! Fruits with a high water content will do especially well because you won’t have to add as much water to the mixture, making the flavor stronger.

Can I Use Fresh Fruit?

You can! You won’t have to use as much water if you use fresh fruit, because the fruit will become pureed more easily when it’s fresh versus frozen! Ultimately, you want your puree to be on the thinner side so that the chia seeds have plenty of water absorb and the consistency is right!

    Just so thankful for this recipe. I always feel so wasteful buying the plastic pouches. This is so easy + has infinite variations if you just rotate out a couple of ingredients. 🙏🏻 Thank YOU

      Hi Missekirby,

      Yes, this recipe can be frozen. I would freeze it in the portion size that you plan to eat it in so you can thaw just what you plan to eat and avoid refreezing the whole batch. Thank you so much for your comment and rating, it means more than you know. 🙂

    I put it in reusable squeeze food pouches that I can fill up ahead of time and throw in the freezer. If I go on a road trip, I just grab a few of them and throw in the cooler. By the time I want a snack they are thawed and ready to enjoy!

    I tried two different Mama Chia recipes and this one was by far the most tasty. Thanks for taking the tome to share!
