Instructions

Whisk the matcha with a splash of warm water to dissolve it smoothly—this avoids clumps.
In a jar, add chia seeds, almond milk, dissolved matcha, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla.
Stir well, or better yet, shake the jar with the lid on. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Stir again to prevent seed clumping, then cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).
By morning, it’s thick and pudding-like. Top with berries, almond butter, coconut flakes, or cacao nibs.

Notes

Try flavor twists like Cocoa-Matcha Fusion or Berry Matcha to keep it exciting. Perfect for hormone balance, gut health, and sustained energy.
