Instructions
Creating this delicious pudding is simple and requires minimal preparation. Follow these easy steps:
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the matcha is fully dissolved.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir Before Serving: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Add Toppings: Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes for added flavor and crunch.
