Description

This Matcha Chia Pudding has quickly become a go-to vegan breakfast around here. With just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, it’s the easiest no-bake recipe to make ahead for the week! 

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened plant milk
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder, as desired 
  • 6 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend the base. In a high-speed blender, add the plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Sift in the marcha powder and blend until smooth. 
  2. Add chia. Stir in the chia seeds, taking care to mix well so they don’t clump together and hydrate properly.
  3. Stir again after 15 to 30 minutes. Pour the chia pudding into a large jar or individual serving containers. Let sit, then after 15 to 30 minutes, stir again so it sets evenly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. If possible, allow the chia pudding to set overnight, allowing it to become extra rich and creamy. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Matcha chia pudding keeps for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight, glass container. As it sits, the pudding will thicken slightly, so give it a good stir before serving and add a splash of plant milk if needed to make it the right consistency again.
  • No blender: We prefer to use a blender to effortlessly mix the matcha into the plant milk, creating a smooth and even base. However, if you don’t have one, whisk the matcha into the milk mixture using a traditional matcha whisk or a frothing wand until it is evenly dissolved.
  • If your pudding isn’t setting, this may mean the chia seeds were old or stale, weren’t thoroughly mixed in, or the pudding didn’t chill long enough in the refrigerator. To fix it, give the pudding another good stir and let it sit in the fridge for a few more hours. If it’s still runny, try adding another teaspoon of fresh chia seeds, mix well, and let it set again.
  • Matcha powder: We recommend using a ceremonial-grade matcha for its mild flavor and vibrant green color. Culinary-grade matcha, while cheaper, can be very bitter.
