Matcha Chia Seed Pudding
This Matcha Chia Seed Pudding is high in antioxidants, beneficial phytochemicals, contains anti-inflammatory properties, and provides moderate amounts of healthy fats and proteins to keep you feeling full and energized all morning. This is great for meal prep so you can have your breakfast or snacks ready and available in your fridge!
This recipe serves 3, or makes 3 days worth of breakfasts or snacks.
Ingredients:
6 tbsp Chia seeds
2 & 1/4 cups Unsweetened Coconut yogurt or unsweetened yogurt of choice
4 tbsp unsweetened Coconut milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 cup chopped strawberries, mangoes, apples, or blueberries (or any fruit you prefer - fresh or frozen)
3 tsp Matcha powder
3 tbsp (or 3 servings) Protein Powder of choice
(I personally prefer a plant based vanilla protein powder such as Ora organics or an unflavored Bone Broth protein powder)
1 tbsp local Honey (optional)
(if you are not using protein powder, adding honey can help sweeten the pudding a bit)
Directions:
Mix yogurt, coconut milk, chopped fruit, protein powder, matcha powder, and chia seeds in a large container.
Let chill overnight to let the chia seeds gel and form a pudding-like consistency
When ready to eat, top with more fresh fruit, seeds and nuts, or drizzle a little honey over the top.
I love adding kiwi, pumpkin seeds, and strawberries!
