Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1-2 tsp butterfly pea flower powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Topping
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Mix the liquid ingredients and powders: In a medium bowl or glass jar, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, and butterfly pea flower powder until the mixture is smooth and uniformly colored.
- Add chia seeds and stir: Incorporate the chia seeds into the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the pudding rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding consistency.
- Assemble the pudding with Greek yogurt: Once the chia pudding has set and thickened, divide it evenly between two glass jars or bowls. Alternate layers of the chia pudding and plain Greek yogurt to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Serve or store: Serve the blue chia pudding immediately for a fresh treat, or keep it refrigerated until ready to eat. It makes a convenient, healthy breakfast or snack option.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of butterfly pea flower powder based on desired color intensity and flavor.
- The pudding can be sweetened with honey, maple syrup, or stevia if desired.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Stir the pudding once or twice while it chills to prevent seeds from clumping.
