Now, if you grew up in America after 1969, you most likely know who Cookie Monster is. The blue, cookie-obsessed puppet from the show Sesame Street. But, have you heard of Veggie Monster? This horror of an idea was started in the Spring of 2005 when it was rumored that Cookie Monster had started a new healthy diet! Supposedly, producers were planning to change Cookie Monster to Veggie Monster out of fear his love for the round treat was influencing children and their eating habits.

Completely ridiculous! A puppet would never impact my food choices...me humming “C is for Cookie” in my head every time I reach for a cookie is unrelated!


Well, rumor or not, those producers wouldn’t have had to worry about Cookie Monster’s meals if he was eating these Cookie Monster Chia Seed Puddings for breakfast. Yes, you heard that right, you CAN eat cookies for breakfast. (Or lunch, or dinner, or dessert. These chia seed puddings are delicious any time of day!)

Don’t let the blue color or cookie dough topping fool you, these vegan treats are fit for a true Veggie Monster. They’re packed with fiber and protein from the chia seeds, silken tofu, chickpeas and cauliflower. Okay, now before you throw your burnt cookies at me, trust me when I say these do NOT taste like a blue salad! Both the vegetables and tofu are neutral tasting, making them perfect to add a bit more health into your day without having to scarf down a green juice. Still skeptical? Silken tofu has actually been used in sweet dishes in Asia for decades (probably centuries, but I’m too lazy to read a Wikipedia article about it right now.)


On top of that, these beauties are naturally colored with butterfly pea flower powder. It’s tasteless and is reported to have plenty of health benefits like boosted brain and immune health and can help stabilize blood sugar levels. These chia seed puddings are beautiful inside and out!

If you have kids, or are just a kid at heart, these can be a great make ahead breakfast option. I usually meal prep about 3 or 4 to grab on my way to class for an easy, on-the-go breakfast option.



These are a great, healthy option for kids, picky eaters, Veggie Monsters, AND Cookie Monsters.
