Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl or a jar, combine ⅔ cup of nonfat Greek yogurt with ⅓ cup of your favorite plant-based milk. Add in 2½ tablespoons of chia seeds, ½ scoop of whey protein powder, 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk or a fork to blend everything together until it's smooth and well combined; the mixture should be uniform in color.
  2. Continue mixing for about 1-2 minutes, making sure the chia seeds are well-distributed and there are no clumps. The consistency should be creamy yet pourable, resembling thick yogurt. If needed, add a bit more milk to reach desired thickness.
  3. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
  4. After chilling, remove the pudding from the fridge and stir well. Divide the pudding into serving bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruits, nut butter, or crunchy ingredients.
  5. Get creative with your toppings, adding more flavors as desired.
