Alongside this chia pudding, I just dropped a recipe for Matcha Strawberry Mini Loaves

Now, let’s dive into making this Matcha Latte Chia Pudding. Think of it as a matcha almond milk latte combined with chia seeds and topped with fresh strawberries. It’s a quick breakfast option—ready in about 5 minutes, with a chill time of 2 hours or overnight. The recipe makes approximately 4-6 servings, depending on your bowl size. I use these handy little pudding cups for convenience—they’re perfect for portion control and save space in the fridge.

Recipe: Matcha Latte Chia Pudding

Servings: 4-6

Tools:

• Bowl

• Measuring cups

• Bamboo matcha whisk, electric whisk, or hand whisk 

• Sifter (optional)

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups milk of choice (I use almond milk)

• 2 tsp matcha powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1-2 tsp honey (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 Cup chia seeds

Instructions:

1. Sift the Matcha Powder: In a medium bowl, sift the matcha powder to ensure there are no lumps.

2. Mix Matcha and Milk: Add 1/4 Cup milk to the sifted matcha and whisk until smooth and foamy. Stir in honey.

3. Combine Ingredients: Add the remaining milk (1 3/4 Cups), chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the matcha mixture. Whisk until everything is well combined.

4. Chill: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. After the initial chilling period, stir to break up any clumps. Continue chilling until the pudding is fully set, which takes about 2 hours or overnight.

5. Serve: Top with fresh strawberries, fruits, or nuts of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes:

• Mixing All Ingredients at Once: While you can mix all ingredients together at once, whisking the matcha separately with milk first enhances its flavor and prevents clumps.

• Storing Chia Pudding: This pudding can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days, making it a great option for meal prep.

• Avoiding Clumps: Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel-like texture. To prevent clumps, stir the pudding after about an hour of chilling, then let it set until fully thickened.
