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
- 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
- Use coconut milk for at least half the liquid for an ultra-creamy version.
- 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.
- Top with fruit (I like goji berries), or layer with greek yogurt and add granola to make a parfait.
