🛒 Ingredients
💚 Matcha Base
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or high-protein milk)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp high-quality matcha powder
• 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey isolate (25g protein)
• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (adds ~12g protein)
• 1–2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener (monk fruit or stevia)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
🍦 Protein Topping (Optional but Boosts to 48g)
• ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp water (to whip smooth)
🍓 Optional Toppings

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Protein Base
In a bowl or jar:
Whisk together:
• Almond milk
• Matcha powder
• Protein powder
Whisk well to prevent clumps.
Tip: Sift matcha first for smooth texture.
2️⃣ Add Chia & Yogurt
Stir in:
• Chia seeds
• Greek yogurt
• Sweetener
• Vanilla
• Pinch of salt
Mix thoroughly for 30–60 seconds.
Let sit 5 minutes → stir again to prevent clumping.
3️⃣ Chill & Thicken
Refrigerate:
Minimum: 20 minutes
Best texture: 2 hours
Ultra thick: Overnight
Chia seeds will expand and create pudding texture.
