A creamy and nutritious matcha chia pudding that is perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk
- ½ scoop Vanilla-Flavored Whey Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Powder
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Sweetener (To taste; options include maple syrup, stevia, or honey)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- Fresh Fruits (Raspberries, kiwi, strawberries)
- Nut Butter (Almond or cashew)
- Crunchy Elements (Cacao nibs, granola, coconut flakes)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ⅔ cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup of unsweetened plant-based milk, 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, ½ scoop of vanilla-flavored whey protein powder, and your preferred sweetener. Whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture. The mixture will thicken once chilled.
- Carefully fill single-serving jars or containers with the mixture, aiming for a height of about three-quarters full.
- Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for optimal texture.
- After chilling, gently stir the pudding in each jar to redistribute any settled chia seeds, then top with fresh fruits, nut butter, or crunchy elements before serving.
Notes
- This pudding can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
