Instructions
Matcha Chia Pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and 1 tbsp water until smooth.
Stir in the plant-based milk, ¼ cup chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Leave for 5-10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
Raspberry Chia Jam
In a microwave-safe container, combine the frozen raspberries, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and 1 tbsp water.
Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir, then microwave an additional 60 seconds if the berries haven’t fully broken down.
Taste and stir in sugar or syrup if desired. Let cool, then refrigerate until set.
Yogurt & Fruit Layers
Divide half of the chia pudding evenly between two glasses.
Top each with half the yogurt, then half the raspberry jam. Repeat with remaining pudding.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Matcha chia pudding will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
