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! I add all the fancy embellishments in the morning so they are fresh and dont become soggy. There are so many options for toppings that I have provided a list below.

Mermiad Pudding Ingredients

Coconut Milk

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. You could use almond or oat milk or just plain cows milk if you are not following a plant based diet.

Spirulina Extract

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.

Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds are one of only a few vegan sources of complete proteins. So these are a great option for a plant based breakfast. They also have Omega 3 fatty acids which are fabulous for brain and joint health.

Step by Step Chia Pudding

Want to take a sneak peek at how I made these little puddings? The recipe makes 2-3 puddings depending on how hungry you are. I've put together a short 1-minute video that gives you a step by step look at each stage in the process.

Mermaid Pudding Toppings

I had a fabulous time decorating my Mermaid puddings. The toppings I used are listed below;

  • Frozen Blackberries
  • Frozen Blueberries
  • Sliced Banana
  • Puffed Millet
  • Yoghurt coated cranberries (omit for vegan)
  • Apricot Bliss Balls (The recipe for these is in my new free ebook)

ThermoKitchen is where my love of food combines with a "lazy streak" as I utilise my favourite appliance, the Thermomix! I discovered Thermomix in 2014 and loved it so much I became a consultant for the brand.
