Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder (high-quality recommended)
- 1 cup milk (almond or coconut for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, matcha powder, and your choice of milk until the mixture is smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sweetener: Add your chosen sweetener and mix well until fully incorporated to evenly distribute the sweetness.
- Rest and Stir: Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, giving it a gentle stir once to prevent clumping and help the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to thicken to the desired creamy consistency.
- Serve: Once set, stir the pudding well and serve chilled, optionally topping with fresh fruits or nuts for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use any plant-based milk like almond or coconut for a vegan-friendly option.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by modifying the amount or type of sweetener.
- Overnight chilling improves texture, but a minimum of 4 hours is sufficient.
- Top with berries, banana slices, or chopped nuts for extra nutrition and crunch.
- Ensure to stir the pudding a couple of times during the resting period to avoid clumping.
