Description

This refreshing Matcha Chia Pudding is a delicious and healthy vegan dessert or breakfast option, combining antioxidant-rich matcha green tea powder with nutrient-dense chia seeds and creamy dairy-free milk. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and topped with fresh raspberries and crunchy almonds, it offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Easy to prepare and requiring minimal effort, this pudding sets beautifully in the fridge and makes for a nutritious start to your day or a light, energizing snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup

Toppings

  • Raspberries (to taste)
  • Almonds (to taste, sliced or chopped)

Instructions

  1. Mix Matcha and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the matcha green tea powder and dairy-free milk until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, with no lumps.
  2. Add Chia Seeds and Sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup thoroughly, ensuring the chia seeds are well dispersed without clumps.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the pudding to thicken.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh raspberries and almonds or any preferred toppings like granola for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened dairy-free milk to control sugar levels and keep the recipe low calorie.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • The pudding thickens further the longer it chills; overnight refrigeration is ideal.
  • For a creamier texture, blend the mixture briefly before refrigerating.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten free.
  • Substitute toppings with other fresh fruits or nuts as desired.
