Ingredient Notes

This matcha chia seed pudding only requires a few quality star ingredients:

Whole chia seeds are the creamy base of this pudding. I’ve used both black chia seeds and white chia seeds and they both work perfectly in this recipe.
Any plant-based milk will work. I recipe tested with almond milk and oat milk and both worked great! My preference is to use homemade versions because they’re richer and creamier in taste and thickness – which results in a better tasting chia pudding.
Last but not least, you’ll need a really good quality matcha powder. When purchasing it’s best to buy varieties that are “ceremonial grade” as they are the highest quality. In my experience, lower quality matcha powders can be bitter in taste and tend to clump more easily.

How to Make Matcha Chia Pudding

Making chia pudding at home is incredibly quick and easy! Here’s how to do it:

chia seeds and almond milk in a bowl ready to be stirred — add almond milk and chia to a bowl and whisk to combine

Topping Suggestions

The best part about making homemade chia pudding is you can load up your creamy matcha pudding with as many toppings as you’d like. Here are a few of my favourites:

Fresh fruit – Try sliced banana, tart pineapple chunks, kiwi or even citrus fruits like orange slices.
Fresh berries – I love using fresh strawberries, frozen or fresh raspberries, blueberries or tart blackberries.
Dried coconut – Both unsweetened coconut flakes and sweetened coconut flakes would be delicious. You could also use toasted coconut flakes for a delightful nutty flavor and crispy texture.
Chocolate – Some people love the combination of chocolate and matcha. Try sprinkling some dairy free chocolate chips or cacao nibs on your matcha for an added anti-oxidant boost!
Nuts and seeds – Add a crunch with slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, chopped hazelnuts, and pecans.
Nut butter – If you’re looking to add additional healthy fats in your diet, adding a dollop of your favourite nut butter or seed butter. (I’d recommend almond butter or tahini!).

Storage Instructions

This matcha pudding recipe is an excellent meal-prep recipe because it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best storage, keep in an airtight container. This will keep the creamy base moist and creamy for as long as possible.
