Tired of eating the same sad breakfast every day?
No jokes, I’ve always struggled with choosing what to have for breakfast. Eating toast or cereal every day gets a little boring, doesn’t it? So yeah, I get truly excited when I come across new, versatile options when scrolling through my fyp. Enter: matcha chia pudding, the easiest, most fun and versatile solution to breakfast boredom.
The great thing about chia pudding is not only that it’s delicious, it’s also:
-
Easy to make (literally just mix & chill, no effort required)
-
Super healthy (hello, fiber)
-
Perfect for meal prep (no excuses for not having breakfast, girl! You can’t go on with your day with a matcha only. I’m sorry)
-
Hella customizable (ideal for experimenting with different flavors and toppings)
And if you combine it with matcha? Yup, a whole mood. Let’s go.
What you’ll need
To make this matcha chia pudding, grab:
-
3 tablespoons chia seeds (tiny but mighty, they make the magic happen)
-
1 tsp Matcha DNA’s matcha tea powder (for that iconic green and smooth taste)
-
1 cup coconut milk (trust me, matcha + coconut is chef’s kiss)
-
½ to 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, or agave, just pick whatever sweetener you usually use)
-
Optional add-ins:
-
A dash of vanilla extract (because ✨flavor✨)
-
A sprinkle of cinnamon (for cozy vibes)
-
A scoop of protein powder (for the gym girlies)
Step-by-step
I swear you’ll have this ready in 5 minutes max. No effort required.
-
Mix it up: In a jar or bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, the matcha powder, the coconut milk, and the maple syrup. Oh and don’t forget to add your extras if you want to.
-
Give it a quick taste: Want it sweeter? Add a little more maple syrup. More matcha-y? Another sprinkle of organic matcha powder. You’re the chef, you make the rules.
-
Let it chill: Cover and pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. I usually make it before going to sleep, so that it chills overnight. That also means I have my breakfast ready for when I wake up. No thinking needed.
-
Stir & serve: Take it out, give it a good stir, and add your favorite toppings. I love adding some fresh fruit like strawberries, mango or kiwi, nuts and granola for some crunchy goodness, or cacao nibs or nut butter for a little extra indulgence.
-
Scoop and enjoy: Snap a pic and dive in with your spoon.
That’s literally it. Easy, right?
