Spirulina chia pudding is a nutritious breakfast or snack that takes just minutes to meal prep! Only a few ingredients are required.

I meal prep a different kind of chia pudding every week. It’s one of the easiest things to throw together and this spirulina version is a great way to keep your fridge stocked with a supercharged, nutritious breakfast or snack.

The combination of energizing spirulina and nutrient-rich chia seeds will give your body an all-natural boost of protein, fiber, essential fatty acids and vital vitamins. Plus – it only takes about 10 minutes to make!

What is spirulina?

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that’s packed with nutrients including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, copper, and iron. It’s also 60% protein – delivering 4 grams in a single tablespoon (source).

Ingredients

A package of chia seeds, honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and spirulina powder on a white tile background.

  • Spirulina Powder – Use your favorite brand. I like KOS.
  • Chia Seeds – I buy these in bulk to cut costs since I make chia pudding every week.
  • Liquid– Whole milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or even water can be used.
  • Sweetener – I use honey but you can substitute your favorite sweetener.
  • Vanilla – This is optional, but a dash of vanilla extract adds some much needed flavor.

Tips

  1. Use coconut milk for at least half the liquid for an ultra-creamy version.
  2. If your chia pudding is too thin after setting up, simply add a few more tablespoons of chia seeds, stir, and place in the fridge again.
  3. Top with fruit (I like goji berries), or layer with greek yogurt and add granola to make a parfait.
