Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 cup raspberries. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a container and stir in half of the chia seeds.
  2. Step 2: In a separate container, combine the remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and matcha powder. Whisk thoroughly until well combined, then stir in the remaining chia seeds.
  3. Step 3: Cover both containers and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Step 4: To serve, layer the raspberry chia pudding and matcha chia pudding in jars or bowls. Top with fresh raspberries for a burst of color and flavor.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or any plant-based yogurt.
  • You can use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Add a few sliced almonds or granola on top for extra crunch.
  • If you prefer a smoother pudding, blend the chia mixture again before refrigerating.

Storage

Store the pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a quick stir if it has thickened too much. This pudding is best enjoyed chilled but can be eaten at room temperature if preferred.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make this pudding without matcha powder?

Yes, you can omit the matcha powder and make a simple raspberry chia pudding. The matcha adds a unique flavor and antioxidants, but the pudding still tastes great without it.

How can I make the pudding thicker?

To make the pudding thicker, increase the amount of chia seeds slightly or let it sit longer in the refrigerator. Stirring after a couple of hours also helps evenly distribute the seeds and improve texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Layer

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/8 cup chia seeds (half of total 1/4 cup)

Matcha Layer

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1/8 cup chia seeds (remaining half of total 1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Blend Raspberry Mixture: In a small blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 cup raspberries. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant raspberry base. Pour into a container, then stir in half (1/8 cup) of the chia seeds evenly.
  2. Prepare Matcha Mixture: In a separate container, combine the remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 2 teaspoons matcha powder. Whisk thoroughly until the matcha powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the remaining half (1/8 cup) of chia seeds.
  3. Chill Puddings Overnight: Cover both containers securely and refrigerate them overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This chilling time allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the mixtures into pudding texture.
  4. Assemble and Serve: When ready to serve, alternate spoonfuls of raspberry chia pudding and matcha chia pudding in serving jars or bowls to create a layered effect. Garnish the top with fresh raspberries for decoration and an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup based on personal taste preference.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture or light coconut milk for fewer calories.
  • If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used; thaw before blending.
  • Matcha powder quality affects flavor; use a good quality culinary-grade matcha for best results.
  • Make sure to whisk matcha powder thoroughly to avoid clumps in the matcha layer.
