Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 1 1/2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Top Layer:
- 2 frozen bananas
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Mix Chia Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, mint extract, matcha powder, and maple syrup or honey until fully combined.
- Chill to Set: Transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding.
- Re-whisk Pudding: After chilling, remove the pudding from the fridge and whisk again to break up any clumps. If the texture is too thick, add more almond milk gradually to reach desirable consistency.
- Prepare Chocolate Layer: In a blender, combine frozen bananas, cocoa powder, and almond milk. Pulse and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: In serving glasses or mason jars, layer the matcha mint chia pudding first, then add the chocolate banana smoothie on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy immediately as a fresh dessert or wholesome breakfast on the go.
Notes
- For a sweeter pudding, increase maple syrup or honey to taste.
- Use frozen bananas to achieve a thick, creamy chocolate layer without added sugar or cream.
- This recipe is vegan when using maple syrup instead of honey.
- Best served chilled; allow pudding to set overnight for optimal texture.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based milk.
