Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 regular lime or 2 key limes, juice and zest
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp matcha powder (optional, for color)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup graham crackers, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, jar, or container, add the chia seeds, lime juice, lime zest, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and matcha powder (if using). Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: After chilling, remove the pudding from the fridge and stir once more to ensure even texture. Serve topped with crumbled graham crackers for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
- Matcha powder is optional but adds a subtle color and antioxidant boost.
- Letting the pudding sit overnight will yield the best texture.
- Use fresh lime juice for optimal flavor; bottled juice can be less vibrant.
- The pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
