Make this easy, creamy vegan matcha chia pudding for a healthy, energizing breakfast or snack. It requires just 10 minutes of active time and is perfect for make-ahead meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or preferred natural sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Pour in the almond milk. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to fully combine the ingredients and break up any matcha clumps.
  3. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly. This second whisk helps prevent clumping and promotes a creamier texture.
  4. Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the pudding. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your preferred creamy texture.
  6. Serve cold, topped with fresh berries, granola, or sliced banana for a complete healthy breakfast bowl.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk instead of almond milk.
  • To make this a high protein chia pudding, stir in 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder with the dry ingredients before adding the milk. You may need an extra splash of liquid.
  • This recipe is excellent for clean eating breakfast meal prep and keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
