Place chia seeds in a bowl. Add in coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix chia seeds using the whisk or the spoon.
Add in matcha powder. Mix chia seeds until smooth and not clumped.
Leave chia pudding to rest for 15 minutes. Seeds will start to absorb the liquid and expand forming the chia pudding.
Mix the chia seeds halfway through.
If chia pudding is too dense, add in more liquid (milk). Also, this is a good time to try the chia pudding and add more sweetener if desired.
Transfer chia pudding to another bowl, split the servings if you like.
Add toppings (optional): I used coconut yogurt. Be creative and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This makes 2 bowls that serve 2 people as a full meal. As a measure I used US cup (240ml).Substitutions
You can substitute almond milk with dairy or any other non-dairy milk - organic soy milk, cashew milk, coconut, or oat milk.
You can substitute maple syrup and use honey. Make sure honey is in liquid form. See the "Sweetener recommendation" section for my suggestions.
Make it keto. Use low-carb sweetener. Add in 1 teaspoon of MCD oil.Make it weight-loss friendly. Replace ½ cup coconut milk with ¼ regular milk to cut down calories. Use low-carb sweetener.Make it with protein powder. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to a chia mixture. This will transform chia pudding into a great protein-packed post-workout meal. Note: you may need to add more milk as protein powder absorbs liquids. Also, no need to add sweetener or extra vanilla extract.Tips for storing
Keep leftovers sealed in a bowl or jar for up to 2 days in the fridge.
This recipe is suitable for meal-prepping. Make chia pudding and put it into a jar with a lid. Save in the fridge. In the morning, just add toppings and enjoy!
