It’s gently energizing and perfect for prepping and enjoying throughout the week or (if you must) sharing with friends. Just 15 minutes active time and 7 ingredients required! Let’s make it! It all begins with MATCHA (a.k.a. our gently energizing green tea bestie packed with antioxidants and the calming amino acid L-theanine)! We’ve previously added it to lattes, smoothies, frosting, snack bites, and cheesecake and reviewed the best brands. So why not add it to chia pudding, too? That just might have been our best decision this year. We mixed it with dairy-free milk (a mix of coconut + almond for creaminess without being heavy), maple syrup for sweetness, and vanilla to enhance all the flavors. Then come the chia seeds to turn it into a thick, fiber-packed pudding! A whopping 2 tablespoons of chia seeds per serving provide 7 grams fiber, LOTs of omega 3 healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals galore, especially vitamin K, B6, magnesium, iron, and selenium. The natural (and delightful, though acquired for some people) bitter notes of matcha are the perfect pairing for sweet STRAWBERRIES! And the color contrast? 10/10! We make a simple strawberry compote by cooking fresh strawberries with a little lemon juice and maple syrup. Let it cool, then add on top of your chia pudding and enjoy! We can’t wait for you to try this matcha chia pudding! It’s:CreamyThickFruityFiber-packedGORGEOUS& SO delicious! It’s the perfect snack to make ahead and enjoy throughout the week when you want something nourishing, satisfying, and gently energizing!
