Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Flavorings
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1-2 Tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thickening Agent
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Whisk the base ingredients: In a blender or jar, whisk together the almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, ensuring even distribution of flavors and a vibrant green color.
- Combine with chia seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are well mixed into the liquid base, which will help them absorb the liquid uniformly.
- Chill to set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy, spoonable consistency.
- Serve: When ready to eat, give the pudding a good stir. Divide into serving jars or bowls and add your desired toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk alternative or dairy milk as per your preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey to taste.
- Letting the pudding chill overnight yields the best texture.
- Toppings like berries, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts can add extra flavor and texture.
