  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup nut milk (225 ml) (cashew, walnut, or hazelnut milk preferred)

Fruits & Flavorings

  • 2 kiwis, peeled
  • Juice from one lime
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey

Thickening Agent

  • 6 tablespoons chia seeds (65 grams)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh kiwi slices
  • Dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Place the nut milk, peeled kiwis, matcha powder, raw honey, and lime juice into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, ensuring the matcha is fully incorporated for a consistent green color.
  2. Mix in Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly so they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 2 to 5 minutes to let the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid.
  3. Break Up Clumps: Stir the mixture again to break up any chia seed clumps, particularly those that might have settled at the bottom. This step is important to ensure an even pudding texture.
  4. Refrigerate: Transfer the pudding to a mason jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency. For best texture, chill for 2 hours or even overnight, especially if meal prepping.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well. Spoon into bowls or jars and top with fresh kiwi slices and dark chocolate shavings or chips, if desired, for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Chilling time can vary; the pudding thickens more the longer it chills.
  • Use any plant-based milk you prefer for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother texture, blend after soaking the chia seeds, though this recipe prefers stirring in the seeds after blending.
