Matcha Chia Pudding
made with ceremonial grade matcha from OG Matcha
Honestly, breakfast is the worst meal of the day for me now. I can’t have gluten, dairy, or eggs, otherwise my immune system will flare up. I used to be all about breakfast and brunch–I miss eating french toasts, pancakes, greek yogurt and eggs.
My new go-to breakfast is chia pudding. I like working out in the morning, so I need a way to get protein into my diet during breakfast time. Chia seeds have 5g of protein per 2 tablespoons–this recipe calls for 3tbsp, so that’s already 7.5g of protein! Problem solved!
The quickest way to make chia pudding is with a nut beverage–I love testing out the different flavors that Trader Joe’s comes out with. But, I decided to experiment and make my own matcha chia pudding from ceremonial grade matcha powder.
The only additional step is shaking the matcha with water to dissolve it before stirring it into the nut beverage. This adds about 2 minutes to prep time.
Recommendations for toppings: Some fruits do not taste good with matcha! I found that berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries) go well with this flavor as well as unsweetened coconut chips.
