This make-ahead chia pudding is perfect for breakfast or a grab-and-go snack. Chia pudding is very flexible — once you have the basic ratio of chia seeds to nut milk, you can customize it with sweeteners, fruit, and toppings. In this version I added matcha powder for a subtle green tea flavor. I used about half of a single-serve matcha packet per jar to keep the caffeine low.
Matcha offers several health benefits: it’s rich in antioxidants, contains L-theanine which supports calm focus, may boost metabolism, and can support the immune system. It’s a flavorful way to add nutrients to your morning.

Refrigerate overnight for a thick, gel-like texture, or chill for a few hours if you’re short on time. Top with your favorite toppings — here I used grain-free granola, coconut shreds, and raw almond butter. Serve and enjoy.
