How to make Matcha Protein Pudding
Let’s delve into how you can create this delicious treat at home!
Prepare the Chia and Matcha Pudding
Combine the chia seeds, soy milk, protein powder, and Matcha powder in a small bowl. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to thicken.
Layer the Pudding
Take your desired serving container and begin layering the matcha protein pudding. Start with a layer of chia pudding to the bottom. Add one layer of chia pudding to the bottom of your container, followed by oat yogurt and another layer of chia pudding. Add a dollop of yogurt, followed by some fresh raspberries, and top it off with some granola.
Meal Prep Option
If you prefer to prepare a larger batch of matcha protein pudding for meal prepping, simply mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit and thicken, then divide it into separate containers. Add your preferred amount of oat yogurt and toppings to each container. This way, you can conveniently grab a delicious and healthy snack whenever you desire.
Note: The recipe ingredients are for 1 serving – feel free to multiply by however many servings you’d like to meal prep these for the week ahead!
Let It Sit
For the best flavor and texture, allow your Matcha Protein Pudding to sit for at least one hour. As it sits, the pudding will thicken. This is a healthy and nutritious pudding that is sure to delight your taste buds.
Recipe Tips / Substitutions
Try cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.
Add the flavored protein powder of your choice. Get creative and explore different taste profiles. I used vanilla protein powder that has about 25 grams of protein per scoop, but you can use any flavor you like!
Add different fruits or nuts you prefer for a flavorful boost. Use sliced strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, almonds, or desiccated coconut flakes to add extra flavor and nutrition to your matcha protein pudding.
Swap Soy milk: If you’re not a fan of soy milk, use any other plant-based instead! You can use coconut milk or almond milk.
High-quality Matcha: Always use premium ceremonial grade matcha to make this vegan protein pudding.
Use Sweet Tasting Protein Powder: Sweeten the pudding with maple syrup or monk fruit if your protein powder isn’t too sweet!
Meal prep tip: If you’d like to make a big batch of chia pudding for meal prep, mix everything in a large bowl, let it sit to thicken then divide it into containers with your yogurt and toppings.
Storage tip: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
