Ingredients
  

Chia Pudding Base
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup almond milk Can substitute with coconut milk or regular milk
  • 1/4 tsp matcha powder Use culinary-grade for best flavor
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 juice and zest from 1/2 lime
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat) Can substitute with coconut yogurt for a vegan version

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a jar with a lid, add the chia seeds, matcha powder, a pinch of salt, and lime zest.
  2. Pour in the almond milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup into the jar.
  3. Mix everything well until you achieve an even consistency, ensuring no chia seeds are stuck at the bottom of the jar.
  4. Secure the lid on the jar and place it in the refrigerator.
  5. Allow the mixture to refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
Serving
  1. Spoon into a wide bowl or keep it in the jar for on-the-go swagger.
  2. Top with fresh fruit, toasted coconut, puffed quinoa, or chopped pistachios for crunch.
  3. Drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle with black sesame for added flavor.

Notes

Store the jar tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir in extra almond milk before serving if it thickens too much.
