Description
A creamy, nutrient-packed matcha chia seed pudding that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a healthy dessert. Loaded with antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3s, this simple recipe is both delicious and energizing!
Ingredients
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)
1 tsp high-quality matcha powder
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Pinch of sea salt (enhances the taste)
Toppings: Fresh berries, coconut flakes, granola, or a drizzle of almond butter
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Matcha Base
In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps.
Add a few tablespoons of warm water and whisk using a bamboo whisk or a small frother until smooth. This ensures an even matcha flavor in the pudding.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a mason jar or bowl, add the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Pour in the prepared matcha mixture and stir well.
Step 3: Stir & Refrigerate
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for a thick, pudding-like texture.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
Give the pudding a final stir and divide into serving bowls.
Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or granola, and enjoy chilled!
Notes
✔️ For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
✔️ Keto-friendly option? Use unsweetened almond milk and skip the sweetener.
✔️ Make it extra creamy by blending the mixture before chilling.
