Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- ¼ cup white chia seeds
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- ¾ cup unsweetened plant milk (such as soy or almond)
- 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl with a lid or a large jar, mix together the chia seeds, full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened plant milk, blue spirulina powder, vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup thoroughly using a spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated and there are no visible dry spots or clumps of blue powder.
- Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid, then stir again gently to break up any clumps that may have formed, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Refrigerate to Thicken: Close the container with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the chia pudding thicken and develop its creamy consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding once more to ensure smoothness. Enjoy it on its own or layered with plant-based or regular yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.
Notes
- Use white chia seeds for a smoother texture and milder taste.
- Full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess, but light versions can be used for lower calories.
- Blue spirulina powder not only provides color but is also rich in antioxidants and nutrients.
- Maple syrup is used as a natural sweetener; adjust to taste or substitute with honey if not strictly vegan.
- Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
