    Yes! Blue chia pudding is extremely healthy, especially for gut, liver, and skin health because it is super high in fiber and antioxidants.

    Health benefits of the ingredients:

    • Chia seeds- are loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and minerals like manganese, phosphorus, copper, iron, and more! They are called a super food for a reason.
    • Milk of choice- usually is a great source of calcium, vitamin D, healthy fats, and protein. If buying plant based, make sure there is 0 grams of added sugar.

    TIPS ON MAKING THE BEST BLUE CHIA PUDDING

    USE BLUE SPIRULINA POWDER. This will give you a natural blue color. The more you add, the darker the color blue you will get.

    WHISK MULTIPLE TIMES TO PREVENT CLUMPING. To prevent yucky chia pudding clumps, make sure to whisk it very well!

    SOAK IN THE FRIDGE OVERNIGHT FOR THE BEST CHIA PUDDING TEXTURE. This gives chia seeds an abundant amount of time to soak up as much water as they can.

    HOW TO MAKE BLUE CHIA PUDDING: A DELIGHTFULLY COLORFUL AND NUTRITIOUS RECIPE

    Looking to add a pop of vibrant color to your breakfast routine? Look no further than this simple and nutritious Blue Chia Pudding recipe. Made with chia seeds, blue spirulina powder, and your choice of milk, this visually stunning treat will not only tantalize your taste buds but also provide a host of health benefits. Let's dive into the step-by-step instructions and get ready to enjoy a bowl of blue goodness!

    Ingredients:

    • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
    • ½-1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
    • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
    • ½ cup milk of choice

    Instructions:

    1. In glass jars or containers, add the chia seeds, blue spirulina powder, and optional honey or maple syrup. The amount of blue spirulina powder you use will determine the intensity of the color, so adjust according to your preference.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Once well combined, cover the jars and refrigerate them 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.
    5. In the morning, remove the jars from the refrigerator and give the blue chia pudding a final stir. The pudding should have thickened to a delightful consistency.
    6. Serve the blue chia pudding as is or get creative with your toppings. Consider adding a dollop of yogurt and a colorful assortment of your favorite fruits to enhance both the flavor and visual appeal.
