Ingredients
- ¼ cup Chia Seeds - (note 1)
- 1 cup Light Coconut Milk - (note 2)
- ¼ cup Coconut Yogurt - (note 3)
- 4 tablespoons Maple Syrup - (note 4) optional
- 2 teaspoons Matcha Powder
- 2 tablespoons Boiled Water - cooled, to dissolve the matcha powder
Topping
- 2 Strawberries - fresh
- 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
Instructions
- In a large container with a lid, or large mixing bowl add matcha powder, and lukewarm water, stir with a fork or small whisk to dissolve the powder into the warm water until almost no lumps remain
- Add coconut milk, coconut yogurt, maple syrup and whisk again to combine everything together, making sure there's not lumps of matcha powder
- Sprinkle the chia seeds on top, and use a whisk to incorporate to the matcha milk.
- Set it aside on the benchtop for the next 10 minutes, and every 2-3 minutes, stir to make sure the seeds don't form lumps.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, until the pudding is thick and seeds have absorbed the liquid.
- Serve with fresh strawberries, raspberries, coconut yogurt, and coconut.
Notes
Note 1: You can use any chia seeds, white or black chia seeds. They are the same. You can also grind the chia seeds into a powder before adding them to the matcha milk. This is an option if you do not like the texture of soaked whole chia seeds.
Note 2: You can use any coconut milk, but I prefer coconut milk beverage, also called light coconut milk, rather than canned coconut milk for this recipe. It has less fat, which keeps the pudding lighter but still adds a delicious coconut flavor. Other milks, like oat milk or almond milk, work as well.
Note 3: You can use any yogurt or add more coconut milk instead. Coconut yogurt tastes amazing with matcha.
Note 4: Any sweetener can be used, like agave syrup, coconut nectar, or 1 drop of stevia for a low-sugar option.
Serving: Matcha flavor marries best with strawberries, raspberries, and coconut. Add shredded coconut, coconut yogurt, and fresh strawberries on top of your pudding best flavors.
Storage: You can store the pudding in the fridge in sealed airtight jars for up to 3 days.

Hello! I’m loving your recipes and was about to make the chia pudding with the matcha. I realize sugars can be substituted, however have recently been wondering on a daily basis how much sugar the body endures. I have friends who are diabetics and when they look at the ingredients the sugars have to be less than I think 8 or 6 grams. This 1 serving shows 34.8 grams of sugar.
keep up the great recipes and thank you so much for caring and sharing. If this shouldn’t be posted, for everyone to see, that’s okay with me.
The sugar comes from maple syrup, if you swap for zero sugar syrup the amount per serve drop to 10g.
My family loved this! Made it for dessert after a heavy dinner. I did half the quantity of maple syrup.
Thank you!
My family loved it – did it for desert after a heavier meal.
I did 1/2 maple syrup qty
That sounds lovely!
I need a warm breakfast, can I heat it in microwave in the morning?
Probably, I don’t know if it taste as good warm tho.
