Description

This Creamy Matcha Chia Pudding is a healthy and easy-to-make treat, combining the antioxidant power of matcha with the nutritional benefits of chia seeds and Greek yogurt. It’s a perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack that’s naturally sweetened and packed with protein and fiber.

Ingredients

Base

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (use 4 tablespoons for a thicker consistency)

Flavorings

  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (sifted)
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Matcha and Yogurt: In a bowl, whisk the sifted matcha powder into the plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, creating a vibrant green base with a creamy texture.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavors: Stir in the maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor balance, blending everything thoroughly.
  3. Combine Milk and Chia Seeds: Pour in the milk of your choice and add the chia seeds. Stir the mixture well to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and begin to absorb the liquid.
  4. Let Sit and Stir: Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to let the chia seeds start swelling, then stir again to break up any clumps and ensure even texture.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken to a creamy and spoonable consistency.
  6. Serve: Stir the pudding once more before serving. Optionally, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds.

Notes

  • For thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 4 tablespoons.
  • Use any milk you prefer: dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
  • Sift matcha powder to avoid clumps and achieve smooth texture.
  • Let pudding chill overnight for best texture and flavor infusion.
  • Add toppings like berries, sliced almonds, or shredded coconut for extra flavor and crunch.
