I clicked on one matcha recipe post on Instagram and now it's all I see in my feed so I had to give this recipe a try with a few modifications. I've detailed some options below depending on your diet or preference.
To make this a protein-packed meal:
Use a protein rich milk such as Silk protein and a high-protein yogurt
To make this keto-friendly:
Substitute the sweeteners for a sugar-free alternative such as stevia or monkfruit
Choose a lower sugar fruit or add fruit in moderation
To make this vegan:
Substitute yogurt for a plant-based yogurt
A hand-held milk frother will come in hand but a regular whisk will do the job.
Servings: 2 chia puddings
Ingredients:
1 cup plant-based milk
1 tsp matcha powder
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
Toppings per servings:
1/2-1 cup yogurt of choice
Mixed berries or fruit of choice
Directions:
In a bowl, container, or jar such as a Mason jar, whisk together your milk and matcha powder until fully dissolved and frothy (a hand-held frother works really well). Add sweetener and vanilla and whisk until combined. Add your chia seeds and whisk once more until the chia seeds are evenly dispersed. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until you have a puddling-like consistency. When ready, divide chia pudding into two containers. Top with yogurt and berries or fruit of choice. You can also play around with the toppings you add, just keep in mind that matcha mixed with milk has an herby taste so you will likely want to add something with a sweet taste.
I don't have anyone to credit for this. I took some ideas I saw on Instagram and made my own.
