Non-chia lovers look away now. It’s about to get serious CHIA CHA-CHA up in here.
I’m bringing you the pinkest of PINK breakfast puddings—*plus* a healthier version of chocolate mousse to swirl alongside and die happy eating.

Now, beetroot isn’t just brilliant because of its funky fuchsia hue. Its earthy sweetness is also a perfect soulmate with deep cocoa flavours, and thus, of course, chocolate.
This morning treat combines the two: beetroot chia and chocolate pudding…Mouth magic in a bowl.
And there’s a secret lil’ summin summin’ I use to create the beetroot part…
Beetroot Superblend by Drink Me Chai, a gorgeous superfood powder mix of beetroot powder, coconut blossom sugar, cacao powder, ginger and cinnamon. BLISS. (Caffeine-free and full of antioxidants, I love the Beetroot Superblend for lattes, granolas, and smoothies, too!)
If you’re unlucky enough to live where Drink me Chai Superblends can’t be found, I got you. In the Ingredients there’s a spice blend breakdown you can make straight from your pantry. WHOOP!


What If My Chia Pudding Is Super Runny?
If your chia pudding doesn’t set, don’t fret. Simply add 2-3 more tablespoons of chia seeds, shake up or stir the mixture, and pop back in the refrigerator. The pudding isn’t meant to be a firm jelly consistency, though—only jelly-ish (more pudding-like) in texture!

For more beetroot delish, check out my prettiest pink latte and the hummus your crudités will love forever.
For now, let’s grab our swim caps and dive in, shall we?
Please note: this recipe makes enough for at least 4-6 servings, so scale up or down accordingly!
