Ingredients
Scale
Pudding
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
Toppings
- Fresh raspberries
- Sliced almonds
Instructions
- Mix matcha and milk: In a large bowl, whisk the matcha green tea powder into the dairy-free milk until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps, ensuring the matcha is fully incorporated.
- Add chia seeds and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup thoroughly, making sure there are no chia seed clumps. This helps the pudding set evenly.
- Chill to set: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight so the chia seeds can gel and create a pudding-like texture.
- Serve with toppings: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh raspberries and sliced almonds for added flavor, texture, and nutrition.
Notes
- Ensure matcha powder is sifted or whisked well to avoid clumps.
- For best texture, allow pudding to chill overnight.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar.
- Feel free to add granola or other nuts as toppings according to preference.
- Use any preferred dairy-free milk to suit dietary needs.
