Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk
- 2 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 scoop whey protein powder (vanilla, coconut, or unflavored)
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- fresh fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, or kiwi
- nut butter such as almond butter or pistachio butter

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, add 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup plant-based milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 1 teaspoon matcha powder, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and sweetener of your choice.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir or whisk all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
- Stir Before Serving: Give the pudding a good stir to break any clumps and ensure even texture before serving.
- Add Toppings: Top the pudding with your choice of fresh fruit, nut butter, or crunchy toppings like coconut flakes, granola, or cacao nibs just before eating.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of plant-based milk depending on desired pudding thickness.
- Sweeten to taste using honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute.
- The pudding can be made up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan protein powder.
