Matcha Chia Pudding
Description
Matcha Chia Pudding combines the delicate bitterness of matcha powder with the gelatinous texture of chia seeds soaked overnight in milk. The pudding uses a sweetener such as maple syrup and a touch of vanilla extract for balance. The simple whisking and refrigeration create a thickened mixture where the chia seeds absorb liquid and develop a soft, tapioca-like consistency. This preparation allows the matcha flavor to infuse evenly, offering a gentle green tea note throughout the creamy pudding.
Once set, the pudding can be topped with ingredients like creamy yogurt, fresh berries, crunchy nuts, or seeds to add layers of texture and flavor. Chia pudding is a convenient choice for those who want a make-ahead, nutrient-dense treat that provides a unique twist on traditional breakfast dishes or snacks with the inclusion of matcha.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy milk
- 6-7 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons matcha powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and matcha powder.

- Let it set for a couple of minutes (5-10 minutes) in the fridge before going back in and giving it a second stir.
- Let the chia pudding set in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.
