Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

½ cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

¼ cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

¼ cup maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh fruit and toasted coconut flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Whisk the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk vigorously until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds: Slowly sprinkle the chia seeds into the matcha mixture while whisking continuously. This helps prevent clumping and ensures even distribution.

      Set to Thicken: Once fully combined, let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the chia seeds to expand.

        Mix Again: After resting, whisk the pudding mixture again to break up any clumps formed by the chia seeds. It should have a uniform, silky texture.

          Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to individual serving cups or jars. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.

            Serve: Once set, give the pudding a good stir. Serve chilled, topped with fresh fruit and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
