This Matcha Chia Pudding, titled “A Creamy, Energizing Superfood Treat,” blends the earthy taste of matcha green tea powder with the rich, gel-like texture of chia seeds. It’s designed to be both nourishing and indulgent—great as a wholesome breakfast, convenient meal prep option, or a light dessert.

Matcha brings centuries of Japanese tradition and antioxidant power, while chia seeds—cherished by ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures—offer fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and plant-based protein. Combined, they create a visually stunning and health-packed dish that delivers both flavor and nourishment

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based or dairy milk of choice)
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix matcha paste: In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2–3 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and free of clumps.
  2. Combine liquids: In a medium mixing bowl or jar, add almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well.
  3. Add matcha: Pour the matcha paste into the milk mixture and whisk until evenly blended.
  4. Incorporate chia seeds: Add chia seeds and stir thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
  6. Stir & serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Top with fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Tips for the Perfect Matcha Chia Pudding Recipe

  • Stir twice during chilling (once after 30 minutes, then again after an hour) for the most even texture.
  • Adjust sweetness depending on your taste or toppings.
  • Experiment with milk types like coconut, oat, or soy for different creaminess levels.
