Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
Toppings
- Fresh raspberries
- Almonds
Instructions
- Mix matcha and milk: In a large bowl, combine the matcha green tea powder with the dairy-free milk. Whisk thoroughly until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth with no clumps.
- Add chia seeds and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly dispersed without clumps. The mixture will start to thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
- Refrigerate to set: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into serving containers. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and set properly.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh raspberries and almonds to add texture and natural sweetness. Enjoy chilled as a nutritious snack or breakfast.
Notes
- For best results, whisk the matcha powder with a small amount of milk first to avoid clumps before adding the rest of the milk.
- Chia seeds can absorb more liquid if left overnight, resulting in a creamier pudding texture.
- Feel free to customize toppings with granola, other fresh fruits, or nuts based on preference.
- This pudding can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it ideal for meal prep.
