Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours (mostly chilling)
Servings: 2

Ingredients

Nothing too wild here — just stuff you can grab from your kitchen or your favorite grocery aisle.

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (go ceremonial grade if you’re feelin’ fancy)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or whatever milk you love)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (sweeten it your way)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (not a must, but a nice touch)

Instructions

Cooking

Start by whisking the matcha with a couple tablespoons of your almond milk. Get it smooth — no one likes chalky green clumps floating around.

Once that’s lump-free and bright, pour in the rest of the milk. Stir in the chia seeds, your sweetener of choice, and vanilla if you’re using it. Give it a solid stir so the seeds don’t clump at the bottom.

Now? Just chill — literally.

Pop the whole mix into the fridge for at least 4 hours. Overnight is even better. The seeds soak it all up and turn it into that perfect pudding texture.

Serving

Spoon it into your favorite bowl or jar. Then dress it up however you’re feeling:

  • Fresh berries or sliced banana
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • A dusting of extra matcha if you’re feeling bold

No wrong moves here. Just go with what makes you smile.
