Matcha Chia Pudding is thick, creamy, and full of earthy, grassy matcha flavour. Like a matcha latte in chia pudding form, it makes a really nutritious, satisfying, naturally gluten-free, make-ahead breakfast that's packed with protein, fibre, healthy fats, and antioxidants.
Enjoy topped with fresh fruit for even more goodness. Fresh berries like raspberries work really well with the matcha flavour, or make some of my blended raspberry chia pudding and layer it up in a glass for a really pretty visual effect and lovely flavour combo!

Ingredients
Here is what you need to make matcha chia pudding at a glance, along with some important ingredient notes & substitution ideas:
- Matcha powder - A very finely ground green tea that is earthy, grassy, and naturally a little sweet. It's packed full of antioxidants and vitamins and makes a wonderful addition to chia pudding!
- Chia seeds - Black chia seeds or white chia seeds are both fine to use.
- Dairy-free milk - With such limited ingredients, the quality of the milk you use in a chia pudding can make or break it. I recommend using a nice, creamy dairy-free milk that tastes really good. I really love to use either canned coconut milk, homemade cashew milk, oat milk, or almond milk, because they have lots of flavour and are nice and creamy.
- Vanilla extract - For extra flavour and depth.
- Maple syrup - Add this as needed to reach your desired sweetness. And if you don't get it quite right when initially mixing the pudding, you can add a little more once it's had its time in the fridge or when serving.
Serving Suggestions
This delicious chia pudding makes a simple and healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert. Enjoy it just as it is, or have fun with toppings like:
- Frozen Berry compote
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, passion fruit, mango, blueberries, or sliced banana work really well)
- Vegan granola, chocolate coconut granola, or chopped nuts
- Creamy vegan yogurt or coconut cream
- Shaved chocolate or chocolate chips
- Tahini, peanut butter, or almond butter
- Blended raspberry chia pudding
Recipe
Matcha Chia Pudding
Author:Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 mls) creamy dairy-free milk
- 1 tablespoon matcha , (add up to 2 tablespoons for a stronger flavour)
- ½ cup (8 tablespoons) chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
- To a bowl add the matcha and milk. Whisk them really well together until there are no lumps of matcha floating around.
- Add the chia seeds, vanilla, and maple syrup to the milk mixture, and whisk again.
- Leave it for 2 to 3 minutes so the seeds begin to gel a little, then give it another really good whisk. This ensures you don't get any clumps.
- Cover the pudding and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 1 week. Serve from the bowl or spoon portions into individual jars and keep them in the fridge until needed.
- If your chia pudding is a little too thick, mix in a few extra tablespoons of milk to reach your preferred consistency. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup.
