MATCHA CHIA PUDDING
Quick and easy to prepare the night before, this will quickly become a breakfast staple. Chia seeds are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and when combined with vitamin and mineral-rich plant-based milk and antioxidant-dense fruit, make this a healthy and delicious breakfast choice.
Take this filling pudding to the next level and add a bright, slightly bitter-sweet, and umami flavor and caffeinated boost of energizing matcha tea. Matcha is antioxidant-rich and contains nutrients such as polyphenols, amino acids, and caffeine, which enhance brain performance and offer many health benefits.
