Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 3 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1 tsp Matcha powder
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup You can also use honey/Agave syrup or date syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk, matcha powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk well.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- Stir it well the next morning. Add a bit more milk, if the consistency is too thick for you. Taste and adjust for sweetness.
- Serve topped with fruits and nuts of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add a couple of tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt to make this chia pudding even more creamy and luscious.
- If you're new to matcha, I would suggest starting with a lesser amount of matcha, say half a teaspoon. Add more, if you prefer a stronger taste.
- Please use real matcha powder, either culinary grade or ceremonial grade. The ceremonial one is pricier, but has a lovely mellow flavor.
- I use non-dairy milk for my chia puddings. But feel free to use regular cow milk or goat milk if you prefer.
