This creamy blue chia pudding is a quick, vegan, and gluten-free breakfast that comes together in just 5 minutes. With a stunning natural blue color from blueberries and spirulina, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) white chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) frozen wild blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder (optional)
  • Fresh blueberries and sliced banana (for topping, optional)
  • Granola or toasted coconut flakes (for topping, optional)
  • A drizzle of nut butter or extra maple syrup (for topping, optional)
  • Edible flowers or bee pollen (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk, frozen wild blueberries, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and spirulina powder (if using) to a blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and uniform in color.
  2. Pour the blended blue mixture into a jar or bowl. Add the white chia seeds and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding has set and thickened.
  4. After the pudding has set, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach desired consistency. Spoon into serving bowls or glasses and top with fresh blueberries, sliced banana, granola, toasted coconut flakes, or other desired toppings.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, use full-fat coconut milk and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before blending if cold. Don’t skip the second whisking to prevent clumps. The pudding keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days; stir in a splash of almond milk before serving if it thickens too much. For a nut-free version, use oat milk instead of almond milk.
