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.

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 instead of mango?
Absolutely. Blended pineapple would be just as delicious. Otherwise, I love it topped with chopped kiwis, blueberries, or raspberries.
Is this kid-friendly?
Due to the addition of matcha, which is a stimulant, I would not recommend it for kids.
