Strawberry Matcha Chia Seed Pudding

Matcha Layer

• 6 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ cup milk of choice
• 1 cup Lifeway Kefir (don’t skip this!!)
• 2 tsp culinary matcha
• ¼ cup yogurt of choice
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• optional 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (blend in with milk + kefir)

Strawberry Layer

• 6 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ cup milk of choice
• 1 cup Lifeway Kefir
• 5–7 strawberries, washed and hulled (blend with milk + kefir first)
• ¼ cup yogurt of choice
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• optional 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (blend in with milk + kefir)

Instructions

1. Make the Strawberry Layer

Blend together:

• strawberries
• milk
• kefir

Pour into a bowl, then add:

• chia seeds
• yogurt
• maple syrup

Whisk well until combined.

2. Make the Matcha Layer

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

• milk
• kefir
• matcha powder

Then add:

• chia seeds
• yogurt
• maple syrup

Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

3. Let Thicken

Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) until thick and pudding-like.

4. Assemble

Once thickened, layer into jars or glasses:

• Start with strawberry chia pudding
• Add matcha chia pudding on top

Optional:

• Add a layer of strawberry chia jam at the bottom
• Top with extra yogurt and fresh berries

My Tips

• Whisk well at the start to avoid clumping (or blend matcha into liquids first)
• Let it sit overnight for the best texture
• Adjust sweetness depending on your preference
• Use a good quality matcha for the best flavor
