Chia Pudding – Mermaid Blue Chai

Calming blue spirulina chai latte powder makes this beautiful chia pudding irresistible.  The pudding is made with coconut milk and layered with fruit for the perfect vegan breakfast or brunch.  

Preparing this Instagram worthy breakfast is so simple. I usually make my chia pots the night before so they’re ready to go out the door when I am! Feel free to use your favourite type of milk in this recipe.  I like to use coconut milk because it gives the pudding a lovely flavour and a creamier texture.

The chia puddings get their beautiful blue colour from a spirulina extract which is getting a lot of attention at the moment. Blue Spirulina is extracted from algae and is said to be high levels of key nutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.

At the risk of sounding superficial, I just like the beautiful blue colour that can be achieved in this chia pot without using artificial colourings. The Spirulina powder I’ve used in this recipe has a delicious chai flavour. This is really important to the pudding! Some Spirulina can have a “fishy” flavour, you definitely don’t want a fish tasting pudding so please make sure you use the Nutra Organics Mermaid Latte brand.
