Ingredients
Basic Pudding
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
Colors and Flavorings
- Matcha tea powder (for green layer)
- Wild blueberries (for blue layer)
- Redcurrant (for pink layer)
- Nothing (for white layer)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect almond milk, chia seeds, and your chosen berries — wild blueberries, redcurrants, and matcha powder — for making the colorful layers.
- Prepare Chia Pudding Base: Combine almond milk and chia seeds in a bowl using a ratio of 3 tablespoons chia seeds per 1 cup almond milk. Stir well and let sit for about 10 minutes. Remix to prevent clumps and ensure even consistency.
- Cook Berries for Sauces: Place your selected berries in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until most of the water evaporates and the mixture thickens into a sauce.
- Strain Berry Sauces: Pour the cooked berry mixtures through a fine sieve into separate jars to remove skins and seeds, creating smooth sauces for coloring.
- Color and Mix Pudding Layers: Divide the white chia pudding base evenly into separate glass jars. Add each berry sauce or matcha powder to different jars and mix until the pudding is evenly colored and flavored.
- Layer the Pudding: Using clear serving glasses, carefully layer the different colored chia puddings one by one to create a rainbow effect.
- Decorate: Top the layered pudding with fresh berries or toppings of your choice for an appealing finish.
Notes
- Remixing the pudding after 10 minutes prevents clumping and improves texture.

- Use a fine sieve for smooth berry sauces without seeds or skins.
- The recipe makes 4 servings and can be customized with different berries for varying colors and flavors.
