Start your day with this creamy, naturally sweetened Matcha Chia Pudding. This recipe is simple to prepare, vegan, dairy-free, and perfect for make-ahead healthy breakfast or an antioxidant-rich snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (adjust to taste for natural sweetener)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings: Fresh berries, sliced banana, shredded coconut, granola

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 the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Whisk immediately and thoroughly for about one minute to prevent clumping.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again vigorously. This step is key for a creamy texture.
  4. Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
  6. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls. Top with your choice of fresh fruit, coconut, or granola for added texture.

Notes

  • For the creamiest result, use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of almond milk, or use a high-speed blender to mix the base liquid before adding chia seeds.
  • This is an excellent make-ahead breakfast; prepare up to three days in advance for quick grab-and-go meals.
  • To boost the protein content, stir in one scoop of unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder with the matcha.
