Ingredients
Scale
1 cup plant milk (coconut or almond milk recommended)
4 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings: Fresh berries, coconut flakes, or sliced nuts
Instructions
In a jar or bowl, combine the plant milk, chia seeds, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds to break up any matcha clumps and distribute the seeds evenly.
Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly. This second mix prevents the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
When ready to serve, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
Top with your desired toppings, such as fresh raspberries or toasted coconut, and enjoy this energizing breakfast.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk or a thicker plant milk like cashew milk.
To ensure no lumps, sift the matcha powder before adding it to the liquid.
If you want a high-protein version, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder with the other ingredients before chilling.
