Continuing my interest in all-things-blue and pretty, I whipped up these cute ombre chia puddings last week.
I used my Blue Majik for the color, but you could use any food coloring, natural or not, to create this effect. I have some more colors coming from Matcha.Blue and can’t wait to test them out! Rainbow projects next : )
Each layer got the following:
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup milk of your choice (I used 2% cows)
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- Either 1/8, 1/2 or 1 tsp of blue spirulina
Then they soaked in the fridge overnight to form a nice pudding-like gel.
In the morning, I layered them up. There’s actually a hidden layer of blueberries in there too!
And I finished them off with some full-fat vanilla Greek yogurt and cinnamon. Delish! It was almost as good as whipped cream. (And coconut cream would be divine too.)
I can say this with confidence: blue chia pudding is definitely more fun to eat than plain 
Ombre Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice
- 1.5 tbsp maple syrup divided
- Just under 2 tsp blue spirulina
- Blueberries for layering
- Greek yogurt for topping
- Cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Add 1 tbsp of chia seeds, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 tsp maple syrup, and either 1/8, 1/2 or 1 tsp of spirulina to three different bowls. Mix well and chill overnight or at least 3-4 hours. In the morning, layer from darkest color to lightest, adding blueberries between layers as desired. Top with Greek yogurt and cinnamon.
This would be perfect for a party! Love how colourful it is! 🙂

Such gorgeous colors Kath, blue is my favorite, and I love chia pudding too! My husband doesn’t like the texture, so I put his portion in the blender after it’s set. Tapioca pudding is one of my faves, so I enjoy this as is.
BTW, you look so happy, glowing (and not because of the umbrella lol), and beautiful in your post yesterday!
Thank you!
This looks so so good, Kath!! I love the ombre effect, and the blues are my favorite shades. Quite mesmerizing and would certainly be fun to make and eat. 🙂
