Chia Pudding

This delicious green chia pudding is perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. I served mine with sliced banana and toasted coconut for added texture and flavor.

Recipe Tips

Chia pudding textures are deceptively hard to get right. The best ratio I’ve found is two tablespoons of chia seeds to one cup of liquid. I used homemade cashew milk in this version. You could absolutely use your favorite dairy-free milk, too.

Chia seeds are such a great fiber source and they have tons of minerals, too. I eat them daily. And, in case you didn’t know, spirulina is a dried algae. I used this organic version from NOW Foods. It doesn’t have much of a flavor, especially if you mix it with other ingredients. If eating something green like this grosses you out, just leave out the spirulina. No worries!
