Matcha latte chia pudding
This Matcha Latte Chia Pudding is light, creamy and loaded with matcha tea flavour! You’ll love this quick and easy healthy breakfast!

Today I’ve got a quick and easy breakfast recipe for you. Matcha latte chia pudding.
Because I’ve totally hopped on the matcha bandwagon and now love with drinking matcha tea and using matcha in my recipes, like in these brownies and this oatmeal!
Matcha is SO versatile and can be used in so many ways. You can drink it as a traditional hot tea, make it into a delicious latte, or use it in baking & cooking to add some flavour to your recipes.
If you’re not familiar with using matcha before, let’s explore a bit more about it!

What is Matcha?
Matcha is a powdered green tea, where rather than brewing the dried leaves in hot water, you are actually drinking the ground up tea leaves. Matcha powder has a ton of health benefits and antioxidants in it. It does have caffeine, and can offer you a little caffeine boost, without the traditional crash that many people get from drinking coffee
There are many different types/qualities of matcha for a wide variety of prices. Typically, you will want to choose
One important thing to look out for when choosing matcha is the colour. The matcha tea should have a nice bright green colour. I found this guide helpful for selecting a high-quality matcha tea!

A few notes on the recipe:
The base of the recipe starts with (of course) chia seeds and plant-based milk. I like to use a mix of homemade almond milk and coconut milk for this recipe to really give it a rich and creamy consistency. Since coconut milk has a higher fat content, it gives the chia pudding a rich texture. If you prefer, you can use all almond milk in the recipe instead.
This matcha latte chia pudding can be prepared a night in advance before you want to enjoy it, or at least an hour before. You’ll want to make sure to whisk up the chia pudding really well before letting it sit to gel. If the chia pudding mixture becomes too thick if you let it sit overnight, simply add a bit more almond milk.

Here are some great topping options to eat with this chia pudding:
- Whipped coconut cream (or coconut yogurt)
- Matcha powder
- Blueberries
- Bananas
- Toasted slivered almonds
- Granola

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 3/4 cup homemade almond milk
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving or if you have time, overnight.
- Optionally top these chia puddings with some non-dairy yogurt and a sprinkle of matcha powder
Notes
Chia pudding is best when it sits in the fridge overnight to really absorb the liquid, but it will still be delicious even if you let it sit for just an hour.
If your chia pudding seems really thick, add an extra couple tablespoons of almond milk and mix. The longer it sits, the more liquid the chia will absorb.
Store this chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Hi! Can’t wait to make this! Quick question – what are you using for the vegan yogurt on top? It looks so thick and creamy and all the vegan yogurts I’ve had are runnier than that.
Hi Molly, i don’t remember which brand I used, sorry!
What do you recommend using instead of maple syrup?
you can use honey or agave!
This sounds like the ultimate creamy matcha chia seed pudding! I make a matcha chia seed pudding but I don’t include coconut milk or cream. I bet this takes the creaminess to the next level!
Hi! This looks amazing! Would I be able to use soy milk instead? Or is almond milk the best? Thanks!
yes absolutely!
Can I omit the full fat coconut milk and replace it with more almond milk?
Hi Dee, absolutely!
I’d like to make this and freeze it in mason jars. Do you recommend? If I make a big batch, okay to disperse into individual containers and refrigerate overnight before freezing or better to put large batch in fridge and then distribute and freeze? Thanks!
Hi amy, I don’t recommend freezing chia pudding. It will stay well in the fridge for up to a week
Hello. So if I make it with 1/4 cup of chia seeds how many calories will that recipe have? I wasn’t sure by what you meant with 1/4 recipe in your description. Thank you 🙂
Hi Anna, if you eat 1/4 of the recipe (i.e one fourth of the entire recipe) it will be approx 150 calories. If you have a larger portion and eat 1/2 of the recipe, it will be approx 300 calories!
New favourite breakfast!
