Ingredients
For the overnight matcha chia bowl
- 1 cup plant-based milk such as coconut, almond or macadamia*
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1-2 teaspoons matcha to taste (I use 2 tsp)
- vanilla stevia drops or preferred sweetener, to taste
- pinch pink Himalayan salt
For the smooth version (optional)
- 1/4-1/2 avocado to taste
- mint extract or fresh mint leaves
Serving suggestions (optional)
- shredded coconut lightly toasted
- almonds lightly toasted
- fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Mix chia seeds with your chosen milk, matcha, sweetener, and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight. For the milk, I like to mix 1-2 tablespoons of full fat coconut milk (the canned stuff) with 1 cup of water.
- Add more liquid as needed to reach desired consistency (optional). Sweeten to taste and serve with toppings of choice.
- To make the smooth version, simply blend in a high speed blender. You can add some avocado for added creaminess, mint leaves (or extract) for a fresh touch, and a handful of ice.
- Chia pudding (without the avocado), can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week (i.e. it's ideal for meal prepping!).
Notes
*If using canned coconut milk (the very thick full-fat kind), you only need to use a couple tablespoons diluted in water.
If using xylitol, make sure to be careful if you have a pup around the house, as it’s highly toxic to the little guys! 🐕
