Primary Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder (high-quality recommended)
- 1 cup milk (almond or coconut for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, matcha powder, and your choice of milk until the mixture is smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sweetener: Add your chosen sweetener and mix well until fully incorporated.
- Rest and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, giving it a gentle stir once to prevent clumping.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for optimal texture).
- Serve: Once set, stir well and serve chilled, optionally topping with fruits or nuts.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk and maple syrup to keep the pudding vegan.
- Stirring after the initial resting prevents chia seeds from clumping together.
- For best texture, refrigerate overnight.
- Optional toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds add flavor and texture variety.
- This pudding is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
