Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.25 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp matcha powder (culinary grade)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup fresh berries
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds or walnuts
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (for garnish)

Equipment

  • small bowl
  • medium bowl or jar with lid
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, matcha mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Repeat once more.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the chia pudding is thick and creamy.
  5. Stir the chia pudding well. Pour into a serving bowl.
  6. Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Whisk twice in the first 10 minutes to prevent clumps. Use culinary grade matcha — ceremonial is too expensive for this. Let chia pudding sit overnight for best texture. Adjust sweetness to taste with more or less maple syrup. Store in individual jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
