Description
A creamy, antioxidant-rich matcha chia pudding recipe that is perfect for meal prep and healthy breakfasts.
Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
1.5 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
Optional: Fresh berries, coconut flakes, or nuts for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Sift the matcha powder into a medium bowl to remove any clumps.
Step 2: Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a splash of the milk to the matcha. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk or small metal whisk until a smooth green paste forms.
Step 3: Slowly pour in the remaining milk while continuing to whisk until the mixture is fully combined and vibrant green.
Step 4: Add the chia seeds and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the matcha chia pudding recipe liquid.
Step 5: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of seeds that may have formed.
Step 6: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the matcha chia pudding recipe has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
Step 7: Stir once more before serving and add your favorite toppings such as fresh raspberries or toasted coconut.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use canned coconut milk. If the pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in an extra tablespoon of milk.
