Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients so they are ready to use.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and matcha powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
Serve: After the pudding has thickened, stir gently to combine. Serve in individual glasses or bowls, layering or topping with fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
