HOW TO MAKE A BLUE SPIRULINA CHIA PUDDING SMOOTHIE

To create a delectable blue smoothie with a layer of chia seed pudding on the bottom, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the chia seed pudding: In a bowl, combine ½ cup of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon of blue spirulina powder. Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and forms a pudding-like consistency.
2. Blend the blue smoothie: In a blender, add 2 frozen bananas, 1 cup of frozen pineapple, 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds, 1 teaspoon of blue spirulina powder, and 1 ½ cups of coconut milk. Blend the ingredients on low speed initially, gradually increasing the speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Ensure that all the frozen fruits are thoroughly blended.
3. Layer the chia seed pudding and smoothie: Take a glass or jar of your choice and spoon a layer of the prepared chia seed pudding into the bottom. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly. Next, pour the blue smoothie mixture gently on top of the chia seed pudding layer, allowing it to fill the glass or jar.
4. Serve and enjoy: Optionally, you can garnish the smoothie with additional toppings such as sliced fruits, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds. Insert a straw or a spoon and relish the delightful combination of flavors and textures, starting from the chia seed pudding at the bottom and sipping through the refreshing blue smoothie above.

2. Layering: For an extra touch of visual appeal, consider layering! Start by pouring a portion of the blue spirulina smoothie into the glass, followed by a layer of chia seed pudding or any other preferred base. Repeat the process until you fill the glass, creating beautiful contrasting layers.
3. Toppings: Add a sprinkle of creativity and flavor by garnishing your smoothie with toppings. Consider options such as sliced fresh fruits like banana or pineapple, a handful of hemp seeds for added texture, a drizzle of honey for sweetness, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical touch.

5. Colorful Straws: Complete the presentation by serving your smoothie with colorful straws or reusable bamboo straws. They not only make sipping more enjoyable but also add a playful and eco-friendly touch.

FAQ's:

Do I have to make this blue smoothie in a jar?

No! My blue smoothie can be made with or without the blue chia pudding. You can also add more milk to the smoothie to make it less thick and just the texture that you like!

Can I add blue food coloring to a smoothie?

If you can not find blue spirulina powder, you can use a natural liquid based food dye. But make sure that it is derived from blue spirulina and NOT artificially colored.

What does blue spirulina taste like in smoothies?

Blue spirulina gives a subtly sweet almost blueberry-like flavor. It is very unlike the fishy flavor of green algae.

Is it possible to make a blue smoothie without spirulina?

No! If you use butterfly pea powder, the acid in the fruit reacts, turning the blue powder purple. Instead, to achieve a vibrant and natural blue color, your best options are blue spirulina or blue food dye.
