Are you looking for a quick, healthy, and delightful breakfast or snack? Look no further!

Matcha chia pudding is not only easy to make, but it’s also bursting with flavor and nutrients. This tasty treat combines the earthy, antioxidant-rich taste of matcha with the superfood benefits of chia seeds. Get ready to impress your taste buds and nourish your body! 

Here’s how to whip it up, with some fun tips along the way.

 

Ingredients for one pudding: 

• 1 teaspoon of NOT GREEN matcha latte powder
• Hot water (just enough to dissolve the matcha)
• 4 teaspoons of chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons of Greek yogurt
• Optional toppings: fresh raspberries, colorful sprinkles, or any fruits and nuts you love

 

Instructions: 

Step 1: Prepare the Matcha Base

First things first! Grab a bowl or a small container and add 1 teaspoon of your NOT GREEN matcha latte powder. This special powder is what gives your pudding that vibrant green hue and delicious flavor.

Next, pour in a little bit of hot water—just enough to help your matcha dissolve. Whisk it all together until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy. 

Step 2: Combine with Chia Seeds

Now it’s time to mix things up! Take 4 teaspoons of chia seeds and stir them into your matcha mixture. Make sure to mix well! You want those tiny seeds evenly spread out so they don’t clump together. 

The chia seeds are not only fun to watch as they plump up but they’re also packed with fiber, making this pudding a great choice for breakfast.

Step 3: Refrigerate

Once everything is combined, pop it in the refrigerator. You can let it chill for at least 30 minutes if you’re in a hurry, but if you have time, letting it sit overnight will give you a thicker, creamier texture that is simply divine. 

A little tip: if you cool it slightly before refrigerating, it helps keep the texture just right and reduces any excess moisture that can gather inside.

Step 4: Add Yogurt and Toppings

When you're ready to enjoy your delicious creation, take it out of the fridge and top it with 2 teaspoons of Greek yogurt. This little addition adds creaminess and protein—yum! 

Now, let your creativity shine by decorating with fresh raspberries, colorful sprinkles, or any toppings that tickle your fancy.

 

Why Matcha Chia Pudding?

This breakfast isn't just a feast for your eyes; it's also rich in antioxidants, which are great for your body. Chia seeds bring a treasure trove of health benefits including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, magnesium, and lots of important minerals. 

It’s like a mini health party in a bowl! So there you have it! 

Matcha chia pudding is your new go-to for a quick, delicious, and nutritious meal or snack. With a bit of preparation and a sprinkle of creativity, you can make a treat that not only satisfies your cravings but also helps you feel great. 

Enjoy your tasty adventure with this delightful pudding!
