Make this creamy, energizing matcha chia pudding as a healthy breakfast or snack. This easy, no-cook recipe is perfect for meal prep and provides sustained energy from the matcha.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk (coconut milk recommended for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

Instructions

  1. In a jar or medium bowl, whisk together the plant milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the matcha is fully dissolved and there are no clumps.
  2. Add the chia seeds and optional protein powder to the liquid mixture. Whisk well to combine everything thoroughly.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 10 minutes. Whisk again vigorously to break up any seeds that have started to clump at the bottom. This step helps achieve a creamy texture.
  4. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Before serving, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Serve cold, topped with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or coconut flakes.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk or a high-fat plant milk like cashew milk.
  • If you prefer a layered look, prepare a simple raspberry compote by gently heating frozen raspberries until they break down, then layer this puree with the prepared matcha chia pudding.
  • For a higher protein version, mix 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt or soy yogurt into the pudding base before chilling, or add a scoop of your preferred protein powder.
