This chia matcha pudding is a simple, nourishing option when you want something light, satisfying, and naturally energizing. It’s gentle on the body, easy to prepare, and works well as a breakfast, snack, or calm afternoon treat.
Why Chia and Matcha Work So Well Together

Chia seeds are known for their ability to absorb liquid and form a soft, pudding-like texture. They provide fiber and plant-based support that helps you feel comfortably full.
Matcha adds a smooth, earthy flavor and offers a steady, clean lift without harsh stimulation. Together, they create a balanced dish that feels both grounding and refreshing.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk

½ teaspoon matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Optional natural sweetness: mashed banana or a few blended dates

All ingredients are simple, clean, and free from refined sugar or artificial additives.

How to Prepare

In a bowl or jar, whisk the matcha powder with a few tablespoons of the milk until smooth and lump-free.

Add the remaining milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract if using.

Stir very well to prevent clumping.

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight, until thickened.

How to Enjoy It

Once set, give the pudding a gentle stir. You can enjoy it as-is or top it with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few crushed nuts. The texture should be creamy, not stiff—add a splash of milk if needed.

A Calm, Nourishing Choice

Healthy chia matcha pudding is about steady energy and gentle nourishment, not quick spikes. It’s an easy recipe that fits naturally into a balanced routine and supports both body and mind with minimal effort.
