Ombre Chia Pudding

These ombre chia pudding jars are made with Blue Majik spirulina, which is as nutritious as it is pretty! Layer each color for a stacked ombre effect.

this !

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 :mrgreen:

    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!

    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. 🙂
