Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 can (13.5 oz) canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp ceremonial or culinary matcha powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, matcha powder, vanilla, and salt until the matcha is completely dissolved and no green clumps remain. A small whisk or frother works best for smooth matcha.
- 2Add the chia seeds and whisk vigorously for 30–45 seconds so every seed is coated. Let the mixture sit 5 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps that form as the seeds start to gel.
- 3Divide the mixture evenly among 4 jars or glasses (about 1/2–2/3 cup each). Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like. The pudding will set firmly and turn a soft jade green.
- 4When ready to serve, give each jar a stir. If it is thicker than you like, loosen with a splash of almond milk. Top each jar with sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted coconut flakes, and sliced almonds.
- 5For extra café vibes, dust a tiny pinch of matcha over the fruit just before serving. Eat cold with a spoon.
- 6Pudding keeps up to 5 days refrigerated without toppings. Add fruit and crunch the morning you eat so everything stays fresh.
