Description
Matcha Chia Pudding is a vibrant, creamy, and energizing breakfast or snack, blending antioxidant-rich matcha green tea powder with nutrient-packed chia seeds and your favorite milk for a smooth, pudding-like treat.
Ingredients
1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, soy)
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon matcha powder (Culinary grade or better)
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: coconut flakes, fresh berries, sliced almond, banana, cacao nibs
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, whisk together milk, matcha powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and salt until the matcha is fully dissolved.
- Stir in chia seeds, ensuring they’re evenly distributed and not clumping at the bottom.
- Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up clumps and distribute seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until set and pudding-like.
- Stir and taste before serving. Adjust sweetness or add a splash of milk if too thick.
- Top with your favorites—coconut, fruit, nuts, or cacao nibs—and serve.
Notes
Stir twice within the first 10 minutes to avoid chia clumping.
Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and color.
Customize with toppings or flavor add-ins like cacao or fruit layers.
Best served cold; not suitable for freezing.
Add protein powder or Greek yogurt for extra nutrition.
