Expert Tips

Keto Version: To make a keto version, replace the maple syrup with monk fruit sweetener.
Consistency: You can adjust the thickness of your chia pudding by decreasing the amount of chia seeds. The less you add, the thinner your pudding will be.
Clumps: It’s best to sift your matcha powder or break down any clumps before adding it to your almond milk. Then, whisk to remove any clumps before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
