Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the matcha is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
- Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Whisk well for about 30 seconds to prevent clumping at the bottom.
- If using protein powder, whisk it in now until fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
- Stir the pudding well before serving. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Serve cold, topped with fresh fruit, granola, or shredded coconut.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, use slightly less liquid. For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
- To make layered pudding, prepare a plain batch and a matcha batch, then layer them in a glass before chilling.
- This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it excellent for meal prep.
