Matcha Chia Pudding

November 18, 2019 by Rachel Carr Leave a Comment

I have always eaten chia seeds and cooked with them over the years, but it’s only lately that I have really re-discovered them. I’ve been on a mission lately to really take care of my protein content these days and I am so happy to have chia seeds in my life! Boasting 4g protein per tablespoon they are an awesome addition to almost anything.

I put them on top of salads, in smoothies, puddings, desserts, energy balls-you can’t go wrong. They have a mild nutty flavor and are chock-full of nutrition:

  • antioxidants
  • minerals
  • fiber
  • protein
  • omega 3 fatty acids

They also have a wonderful property wherein they become thick and sticky when soaked in water, which makes them a great egg replacer in some recipes, and you can use them to make raw vegan crackers, wraps and desserts. Here I have used them to make a chia “pudding” flavored with anti-oxidant rich matcha, and then topped with fruit, nuts and coconut.

How do you love to use chia?

If you are looking for a high protein, healthy breakfast to keep you satisfied and humming all day long, look no further. Chia seeds are little power houses of nutrition with tons of protein and omega fatty acids!
