    I'm a big fan of quick and easy breakfasts, especially on busy mornings. That's why I love this green spirulina chia pudding – it takes just 5 minutes to make and can be prepped in advance.

    I love incorporating spirulina into my diet – this amazing blue-green algae is an excellent source of plant-based protein and antioxidants and adds such a vibrant color to dishes! You can find it in green and blue hues, giving this pudding a beautiful, natural green color – all without any artificial dyes or food coloring.

    If you're looking for other wholesome and ready-to-go breakfast options, you might also enjoy my low calorie coffee chia seed pudding, pineapple chia seed pudding, and chia flaxseed pudding.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Green spirulina chia pudding recipe ingredients.
    • Chia seeds: These tiny powerhouses are the base of the pudding, absorbing the liquid to create a thick texture.
    • Spirulina powder: It adds a vibrant green color, protein, and a slightly earthy flavor.
    • Protein powder (I used vanilla-flavored): Helps balance and suppress spirulina’s ocean-like flavor while adding a protein boost. If your protein powder is unflavored, add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
    • Maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness, but feel free to use your favorite sweetener like agave nectar or date syrup.
    • Dairy-free milk:  I used almond milk, but coconut milk, oat milk, or cashew milk are great non-dairy alternatives.

    As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
