Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- 0.25 cup Milk of Choice (Any milk like almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
- 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup (Honey can be used as an alternative for non-vegans)
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tsp Matcha Powder (Use culinary grade matcha for best taste)
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla Extract (Optional, can be replaced with almond extract or omitted)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk of choice, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, ensuring the matcha powder is fully dissolved and the chia seeds are well distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a thorough stir to break up any clumps and evenly distribute ingredients. Then layer the pudding into serving jars or bowls, optionally topping with a dollop of extra Greek yogurt and a dusting of additional matcha powder for a beautiful finish.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using honey for non-vegans.
- Ensure to use culinary grade matcha powder for the best flavor and to avoid any bitterness that lower grades might produce.
- Chilling the pudding overnight results in a better texture and fuller flavor absorption.
- Serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.
