Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plant milk (almond or coconut recommended)
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine the plant milk, chia seeds, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about one minute to break up any matcha clumps and distribute the seeds evenly.
- Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again vigorously. This second mix prevents the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
- Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, stir the pudding to achieve a creamy texture. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Serve cold with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, granola, or coconut flakes.
Notes
- For a higher protein chia pudding, mix in 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder with the wet ingredients before chilling.
- If you prefer a layered chia pudding, prepare a fruit compote (like simmering frozen raspberries) to layer on top or in the middle.
- Use culinary grade matcha for the best color and flavor in this energizing morning snack.
