Matcha Green Tea Powder Unlocks Health Benefits

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• to taste fresh fruits for topping (such as berries or sliced banana)
• to taste toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, matcha green tea powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
2. Add the chia seeds to the matcha mixture and stir well to make sure the seeds are evenly distributed.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like consistency.
4. Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir, adding a splash of almond milk if it’s too thick.
5. Divide the pudding into serving bowls or glasses and top with fresh fruits and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
