Make this foolproof, creamy Matcha Chia Pudding recipe. It is naturally vegan, dairy-free, and needs only 10 minutes of prep for an energizing breakfast. Follow the two-step whisking technique for a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned, unshaken)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pour the full-fat coconut milk into a jar or bowl. Do not shake the can first to keep the cream layer separate for maximum creaminess.
  2. In a small separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot (not boiling) water until completely smooth and no clumps remain. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  3. Add the whisked matcha mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the coconut milk. Whisk vigorously for one minute until everything is well combined and the mixture is a uniform green color.
  4. Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Whisk immediately and thoroughly for about 30 seconds to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
  5. Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly. This second whisk ensures even distribution.
  6. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
  7. Serve cold. Top with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, or chopped pistachios for an antioxidant rich dessert experience.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk and ensure you whisk the matcha separately before adding it to the main liquid.
  • If you need a quick meal prep breakfast, this recipe is perfect as it sets overnight.
  • To boost the protein content for sustained energy, stir in one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder with the chia seeds.
