This little breakfast is super easy and absolutely delicious. It’s a great way to start the day with protein (18 g), omega-3s, and vitamin C. Plus, all the antioxidant benefits and little energy boost of matcha! I find the mango sweetens it enough for my taste, but you can always add a sweetener. If it’s your first time making it, I’d recommend maple syrup, as you can easily stir it in afterward.

Ingredient Notes
Chia Seeds: High in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Matcha Powder: Rich in antioxidants, it gives a unique flavor. Use ceremonial grade for best taste.

FAQ
- Can I make this pudding with other types of milk? Yes, any plant-based milk works well.
- How long does Matcha Chia Pudding last in the fridge? Up to 5 days when stored properly.
- Can I use other fruit than mango? Absolutely, blended pineapple would be just as delicious. Otherwise, I love it topped with chopped kiwis, blueberries, or raspberries.
