Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, add 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup plant-based milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 1 teaspoon matcha powder, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract along with your preferred sweetener if desired.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir or whisk the ingredients vigorously until the mixture is smooth and all components are well incorporated.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to redistribute the ingredients. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or crunchy elements just before eating for added texture and flavor.

Notes

For a sweeter pudding, add your preferred sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute when mixing the ingredients.
Using different flavors of protein powder can alter the taste; vanilla or coconut varieties work best with matcha.
Allow chilling overnight for a thicker, creamier texture.
Plant-based milk options like almond, oat, or soy milk can be used depending on dietary preferences.
Adjust chia seed quantity for desired thickness; more seeds yield a firmer pudding.
