Vegan Chia Pudding Recipe (With Superfood Powder – Optional)

This is a really healthy breakfast: rainbow chia pudding with superfoods! Or with fruit.

In this chia pudding recipe we share the basis of a tasty chia pudding and how you can make it even healthier with superfoods.

With our rainbow recipes we try to make the world a little more colorful and accepting from the kitchen! Will you help? Share your creations via #rainbowrecipes.

Chia Seed Pudding

Making chia pudding is very simple, you only need (vegetable) milk and chia seeds as a base. Chia seeds are rich in omega 3, balance your blood sugar and are high in protein.

When you mix chia seeds with a liquid, the seeds develop a jelly-like structure, which provides a feeling of being full.

For the taste, it is nice to add a sweetener and a flavor like cinnamon to your chia pudding. It’s easiest to prepare your chia pudding for breakfast the night before, so it can rest in the fridge long enough.

Chia Pudding Coconut Milk

Use your favorite (vegetable) milk for this recipe. You can add a nice coconut flavor to your chia pudding by using coconut milk! But almond milk is also tasty. Or make it nice and creamy with cashew milk.

Superfood Powder

In this recipe we make an inclusive Pride flag with superfoods; a rainbow with black and brown stripes on top.

These layers represent inclusivity and diversity, unfortunately there is still a lot of inequality within the LGBTQ+ community.

You can of course choose whatever colors you like!

What are superfoods anyway? Superfoods are said to have all kinds of positive effects on health due to their high content of good nutrients and antioxidants.

However, this is not (always) scientifically substantiated. Below we tell you which powders we use and why!

Tip: you can of course make orange, green and purple by mixing red, yellow and blue! So you can use beet powder, turmeric powder and blue spirulina to make all the rainbow colors.

Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is one of the latest superfood trends. This charcoal provides detoxification and absorbs and removes toxins in your body (hello black poop).

Please note that activated charcoal also absorbs and removes good substances!

Cacao Powder

You can make delicious chocolate chia pudding by adding some cacao powder! Cacao is full of protective antioxidants and contains many minerals, especially magnesium. 

Cacao lowers bad cholesterol and blood pressure, so it is good for your heart.

Also amazing for breakfast: 2 ingredient banana egg pancakes, this rainbow sandwich, and this hummus recipe with 6 different hummus flavors.

Beetroot Powder

For the red layer, we use beet powder. Did you know that you can easily make beet powder yourself? More about that later in this article!

Beetroot is the ideal supplier of vitamins and minerals.

These red tubers are almost fat-free and low in calories. They are also full of potassium, folic acid and antioxidants at the same time.

But you can also use pink pitaya powder or another red / pink superfood powder.

Goji Berry Powder

Goji berries are red/orange berries that are very good for your immune system! They are also full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They improve blood sugar levels and seem to increase fertility themselves.

Turmeric Powder

One more for your immune system! Completely powerful in combination with ginger powder. Turmeric helps against fever, infections and digestive problems.

Green Powder

There are really a lot of green powders. We use a nice mix including spirulina, kale and wheat grass. But you can also use matcha powder, chlorella or spinach powder.

Blue Spirulina Powder

We made the mistake of thinking that all spirulina is blue. Spirulina itself is a green powder, but it contains an algae phycocyanin which is bright blue.

Nowadays they can take this substance out of the spirulina and then you have bright blue spirulina powder!

Spirulina is full of Omega3 and contains a lot of natural proteins!

You can also use butterfly pea powder, a blue powder that turns purple when you add something acidic!

Açai Powder

Açai berries ensure good intestinal function and stimulate the metabolism. Now the powder form is different from the berry itself, because it is naturally processed.

An alternative is maqui powder, which is made from the maqui berry and is also purple!

Make Fruit And Vegetable Powder

You can also make color powders yourself! For example, you can make yellow lemon powder, orange carrot powder or other colors with vegetable pulp.

Let the vegetables / fruit (sliced or pureed) dry completely, you can do this with a special dehydrator, or simply in your oven on the lowest setting. Then you blend it all the way into powder.

Make sure to make these cauliflower wings, this broccoli goat cheese quiche, and this vegan poke bowl recipe too!

Fuit Chia Pudding

You can also make this rainbow chia pudding with fruit instead of milk and superfood powders! Use our rainbow smoothie as a base and add ½ tablespoon of chia seeds to each layer!
