Whip up this vibrant, energizing Matcha Chia Pudding. It is naturally vegan, dairy free, and requires minimal prep for a healthy breakfast or quick healthy snack you can make ahead.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: Fresh raspberries, sliced strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, or crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk until completely smooth and no clumps remain. This step prevents lumps.
  2. In a medium jar or container, combine the remaining almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well.
  3. Add the dissolved matcha mixture to the milk mixture and whisk thoroughly until the liquid is a uniform, vibrant green color.
  4. Add the chia seeds to the liquid. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds to break up any clumps forming around the seeds.
  5. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly. This second whisking is key for a creamy chia pudding texture.
  6. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding is thick.
  7. When ready to serve, stir the pudding and top with your choice of fresh fruit or nuts for an antioxidant rich breakfast bowl.

Notes

  • For the creamiest result, use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of almond milk.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, add a little more maple syrup before chilling.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep; store individual servings in airtight jars for up to 4 days.
  • For an extra boost, add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before the final mix.
