Green Tea Matcha Chia Pudding Parfaits from Lauren Kelly Nutrition #vegan

You all know that I love my green tea.  I also adore my chia pudding.  Why not put them together?  It’s a match made in heaven!

I added pineapple and coconut because it’s easy and delicious, but go ahead and use whatever fruit you’d like.  Layer them into parfaits or mix them all together.  I made the maple syrup which I used as the sweetener optional, but the matcha (which is simply finely ground green tea powder) is a little bitter and I think the maple syrup offsets it perfectly.

Green Tea Matcha Chia Pudding Parfaits

Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings 2 servings
Author Lauren Kelly Nutrition

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons 100% maple syrup optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon green tea matcha powder
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • pineapple chunks and shredded coconut for topping

Instructions

  1. Place the first four ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
  2. Pour into a bowl and stir in chia seeds. Mix well and cover with a lid.
  3. It may look watery, but allow it to sit overnight (or at least a few hours) for it to thicken.
  4. After it thickens, arrange in layers for parfait. Enjoy!

The best part of this? It’s so insanely healthy!

Green tea matcha powder is loaded with antioxidants (which fights off the harmful free radicals), vitamins and minerals.  Studies show that consuming matcha can strengthen your immune system, boost energy, improve mental clarity (who couldn’t use help with THAT?) along with helping in maintaining heart health.

Chia seeds are packed with the powerful omega-3-fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber and protein.  Studies show that consuming chia seeds may help lower the risk of heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.

Bottom line?  Eat this.  It’s crazy good for you. Green Tea Matcha Chia Pudding Parfaits from Lauren Kelly Nutrition #vegan

I hope you enjoy this!  It’s perfect as pre or post-workout meal of even as a treat after dinner. Thanks for stopping by!

    To be honest, I’m still trying to find a chia pudding I really enjoy… I think it’s a texture thing, maybe? Anyway, I do love me some green tea and pineapple and coconut, so maybe this is the pudding that’ll finally change my mind. ๐Ÿ™‚ Love that pretty bright green colour!

    Matcha is great mixed in so many things, so why not a chia pudding? Such a pretty color, too.

    I have yet to try chia pudding but considering that you added pineapple and coconut to this I’m probably going to love it!

    I know you said the maple syrup is optional but maple syrup is never optional to me…haha ๐Ÿ™‚ This little parfait looks so delicious and the perfect use for the matcha that has been sitting up in my pantry.
