Equipment

  • 3 Jars small
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • small pan
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups high protein non-dairy milk I use Silk, soy milk is also great for protein
  • 1½ tsp maple syrup
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1½ cups raspberries or strawberries
  • 1 cup plant-based yogurt

Instructions

  • In a container, combine the plant-based milk, maple syrup and chia seeds. Stir. Using a fine mesh sieve, add in the 2 teaspoons of matcha powder, or more as desired for color. Using a whisk, combine until everything is evenly distributed. Place in the fridge to thicken for at least 2 hours. 
  • White the matcha chia pudding sets, in a pan over medium heat, add the raspberries. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mash until you achieve a jam like consistency. Set aside to cool. This is your raspberry compote.
  • Now assemble. Transfer the matcha chia pudding into 3 small jars, top with the the raspberry compote, and then a big dollop of plant-based yogurt on top. Seal, and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

Notes

  • Any plant-based milk works for this recipe: almond, soy, oat, cashew... Choose based on your preference or allegies.
  • You can sub maple syrup for a different liquid sweetener like agave or date syrup.
  • I know that fresh raspberries can be expensive. Feel free to use frozen berries or swap for mango, cherries, or blueberries.
  • If you use flavored matcha (e.g. strawberry matcha), this recipe works just as well!
  • Double the recipe if you have a larger household. Sometimes I also eat these matcha chia pudding jars as an afternoon snack, which is why it's nice to have a few prepped!
  • Get creative with toppings and boosts. Add seeds, nut butter, protein powder, cacao nibs and more!
