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, etc.)
- 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup (Honey can be used as an alternative for non-vegans)
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tsp Matcha Powder (Culinary grade recommended)
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla Extract (Can be omitted or replaced with almond extract)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, milk of choice, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight chilling is ideal to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, stir the pudding thoroughly to redistribute any settled ingredients. Then, layer the pudding into serving jars, top with a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, and dust with additional matcha powder for garnish.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Use culinary grade matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
- The pudding can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Chia seeds expand as they absorb liquid, so ensure enough resting time for the right consistency.
