Easy Blue Spirulina Chia Pudding

Today we will prepare an Easy Chia Pudding with Blue Spirulina, which is a naturally blue pigment protein extracted from the algae Spirulina platensis. Blue spirulina has a mild and neutral taste and smell compared to green spirulina. It is rich in antioxidants and contains a high percentage of proteins. It is known for its positive effect on the human digestive system.
Chia is not accidentally one of the main ingredients in today's pudding. Did you know that chia seeds have been a preferred food since ancient Mayan and Aztec times, due to the energy they provide to the body and their valuable nutritional qualities?

They are a source of Omega-3, proteins, antioxidants, plant protein in combination with fatty acids and a considerable amount of fiber. Upon contact with liquids, chia naturally transforms into a jelly consistency, which makes it a preferred ingredient for preparing pudding desserts and creams. It is enough to soak them in liquid for a certain period of time.

That's why today we chose this superfood for our dessert. Let's proceed together to prepare the pudding:

Ingredients needed for chia pudding with blue spirulina:

• 250 ml rice milk
• 1 tbsp. coconut syrup
• 1/8 tsp. blue spirulina
• a pinch of salt
• 40 g chia
• garnish of choice – dried white mulberries, puffed quinoa, oats, sesame seeds, crushed nuts, crushed cocoa nibs, any fresh/dried fruits, finely chopped, etc.

We hope you enjoyed the recipe and we believe that the final result is as close as possible to ours.
