This pudding offers a strong nutritional profile thanks to its key ingredients. Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids (great for heart and brain health), soluble fiber (which supports digestion, blood sugar control, and satiety), and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Matcha adds a concentrated dose of antioxidants, particularly EGCG, which supports metabolism, focus, and cellular health, along with L-theanine for calm alertness. Comes together super quick and makes for a nutritious breakfast, snack or post-workout fuel!
Matcha Chia Pudding

minutes200
kcalA creamy, nutrient-packed breakfast or snack with earthy matcha flavor, naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
Ingredients
3 tsp organic matcha powder
2 cups milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
3 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Dash of vanilla extract
Directions
- In a medium bowl or jar, whisk the matcha powder with a small splash of milk (about ¼ cup) until completely smooth and lump-free. This prevents clumps!
- Add the remaining milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 1–2 minutes until well combined.
- Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then whisk again (chia seeds tend to sink and clump at first).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
Notes
- Top with fresh berries, banana, toasted coconut, granola and more! Serve with some Greek yoghurt for extra gut-health benefits.
