Prepare this simple, creamy vegan matcha chia pudding. It is a healthy breakfast or snack that you can make ahead of time for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the matcha is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
  2. Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture and whisk thoroughly for about one minute to prevent clumping.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly. This step helps achieve a creamier texture.
  4. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Top with fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes before eating.

Notes

  • For a higher protein option, add one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder when mixing the wet ingredients.
  • If you prefer a richer pudding, substitute half of the almond milk with full-fat canned coconut milk.
  • Use high-quality matcha powder for the best color and flavor in this antioxidant-rich snack.
