Description
This matcha chia pudding blends the earthy flavor of matcha powder with the creamy texture of chia seed pudding for a refreshing and energizing start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Fresh sliced strawberries (optional topping)
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional topping)
- Crushed pistachios (optional topping)
- Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional topping)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a few tablespoons of warm water (not boiling) until a smooth paste forms.
- In a jar or mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and prepared matcha paste. Stir thoroughly until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from settling or clumping.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once the pudding is set, stir it again to ensure consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl or glass and top with sliced strawberries, coconut flakes, crushed pistachios, or a light drizzle of maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- This pudding is packed with fiber and antioxidants.
