Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.)
- 0.25 cup Milk of Choice (Any milk such as almond, oat, or dairy will work perfectly.)
- 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup (Honey can be used as an alternative for non-vegans.)
Mix-ins
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tsp Matcha Powder (Use culinary grade for best taste and quality.)
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla Extract (Can be omitted or replaced with almond extract.)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, chia seeds, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the mixture.
- Mix and Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to mix any settled ingredients. Layer the delicious mixture into serving jars, topping with a little extra Greek yogurt and dust with additional matcha powder for garnish.
Notes
- This pudding can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days for meal prep convenience.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
- Using culinary grade matcha powder ensures a balance of flavor and smooth texture.
