Matcha Chia Protein Pudding
I decided to merge a couple of my favorite afternoon staples into a nutritious, yummy snack. Easy to throw together and keep a couple servings in the fridge for the week.
This matcha chia pudding is also a blood sugar-stable option for a healthy snack or breakfast that includes fiber, protein, disease-fighting antioxidants & nutrients (like Omega-3s)!
Ingredients
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup almond milk
3 t. good quality matcha powder
1-1.5 scoops vanilla protein powder
4 T. chia seeds
Throw your milks (change it up if you prefer) and powders in a blender, blend it up and pour into a sealable bowl. Add your chia seeds, stir well with a whisk and refrigerate at least 6 hours or ideally overnight.
Note: Be sure to set a timer and stir well again within 20-30 minutes of initially refrigerating to avoid the chia seeds from congealing!
I like topping off my chia pudding with things like toasted coconut flakes, grain-free granola or half a sliced banana before serving. The different textures add a nice crunch. Enjoy!
