Helpful Tips for Making the Best Chia Pudding:

This Matcha Spirulina Chia Pudding is so easy to make – just throw everything into a glass container, whisk until smooth, and let sit overnight! Here are some tips to make the absolute best chia pudding possible:

• Don’t skip the yogurt! You technically can make chia pudding without it, but it’ll be difficult to achieve a creamy texture. My ratio per 2 tbsp of chia seeds is 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 scoop protein powder, and 1/4 cup yogurt.
•  Make this the day or night before you want to enjoy it. It needs a minimum of 6 hours to thicken!
• Whisk the liquids first before you add the powders and chia seeds.
• This recipe is for 3 small portions, or 2 slightly larger portions. If you think you’ll want more, simply double or triple the recipe.

Confused? Here are some frequently asked questions:

1. What are the benefits of chia pudding?

Chia pudding has many incredible benefits, mainly improving digestion due to the high fiber content. When you allow the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and expand, they take on a gel like consistency helping waste and toxins pass through your system. In a few words, they are great at easing constipation and improving the gut lining. Due to this and the amount of nutrients packed into a small amount, chia seeds are considered a superfood!

2. What exactly is Spirulina?

Spirulina is a superfood that comes from blue-green algae. Blue green algae has 2 compounds, chlorophyll and phycocyanin. Spirulina comes from chlorophyll. Spirulina is an excellent source of nutrients including plant protein. Just 1 tablespoon of spirulina contains 4 grams of protein!

3. What are the benefits of Matcha?

Matcha is a green tea powder that provides sustainable energy. Unlike coffee, matcha provides energy that comes on slowly. Coffee hits you at once which can cause anxiety, jitters, and an eventual crash. Matcha provides your body energy without traditional caffeine side effects. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and is considered a superfood! Some of the benefits include enhanced brain function, prevented disease, and increased heart health.

4. Is it okay to have chia pudding every morning?

While chia pudding is very healthy and has great benefits, it’s important to consume everything in moderation. To reach optimal health, it’s important to consume a variety of foods and mix things up. If you eat the same foods daily you may grow intolerant to certain foods. Consuming chia pudding 3-4 a week should be fine.
