Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Blend the Matcha and Milk: Whisk the matcha powder into a small amount of warm milk to dissolve any clumps and release its color. Combine this mixture with the remaining milk and vanilla extract in a container or bowl.
  2. Add Sweetener and Chia Seeds: Stir in your chosen natural sweetener, then add the chia seeds and mix thoroughly to distribute them evenly, preventing clumps.
  3. Let It Rest and Thicken: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Stir and Adjust: After chilling, stir the pudding well to redistribute the seeds. Taste and adjust by adding more sweetener or milk if desired for preferred flavor and texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the pudding into bowls or jars and top with your favorite garnishes such as fresh fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha (culinary or ceremonial grade) for best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Whisk matcha well with warm milk to break up clumps before combining all ingredients.
  • Adjust sweetness after pudding sets for better control over flavor.
  • Give the mixture a quick stir or shake during the first hour to prevent chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
  • Experiment with different plant-based milks to find your favorite texture and taste.
