Servings 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2-1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
Toppings - optional
- Whipped coconut cream - recipe below in notes
- Fresh fruit
- Chopped nuts
- Hemp seeds
- Coconut shreds
Instructions
- In a glass jar or container, add the chia seeds, blue spirulina powder, and honey. The amount of blue spirulina powder you use will determine the intensity of the color, so adjust according to your preference.Pour in the milk of your choice. Whether you prefer creamy dairy milk or a plant-based alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk, the choice is yours.Stir the mixture vigorously, making sure to scrape the sides of the jar to prevent any chia seeds from clumping. Stirring multiple times during the process will help the chia seeds gel evenly and create a smooth pudding texture.Once well combined, cover the jar and refrigerate overnight. Allowing the chia pudding to soak in the fridge overnight ensures that the chia seeds fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy and delectable texture.In the morning, remove the jar from the refrigerator and give the blue chia pudding a final stir. The pudding should have thickened to a delightful consistency.Serve the blue chia pudding as is or get creative with your toppings. Consider adding a dollop of whipped coconut cream (recipe below in notes) yogurt and a colorful assortment of your favorite fruits/and or nuts and seeds to enhance both the flavor and visual appeal.
