What Is Blue Matcha?

Blue matcha is a vibrant blue powder made from butterfly pea flowers. It’s known for its bright color and is often used to add a fun pop of blue to drinks, lattes, smoothies, and baked goods—but despite the name, it’s actually caffeine-free and not related to traditional green matcha!

Ingredients And Substitutions

This matcha chia seed pudding only requires five simple ingredients. You technically only needs three, but I love to add in vanilla and a little bit of sweetener.

You can use black chia seeds or white chia seeds. I usually get a package at Trader Joe’s or from Mamma Chia online.

I use almond milk for this liquid portion in this recipe. You can use any type of nut or seed milk for a non-dairy/vegan recipe. If you aren’t vegan, you can use regular milk as well.

Blue matcha powder is essential for this matcha chia seed pudding recipe.

vanilla extract adds a bit of sweetness that I encourage you to add. If you don’t have this ingredient, you can skip it.

I love adding in a little bit of sweetener like maple syrup. You can also use honey, agave, or date syrup. You may also omit the sweetener.

How To Make

This healthy chia pudding is incredibly easy to make and takes less than five minutes to put together. This longest part is letting them sit in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes.

1. Mix together chia seeds and matcha powder.

2. Add in almond milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup and whisk until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Cover and let sit in the fridge for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.

Tips And Tricks

• Combine matcha powder and chia seeds first to avoid any clumps. Use a wooden matcha whisk for best results, or sift the powder into the chia seeds.
• Add in almond milk and liquids last to avoid chia seeds sticking together. Whisk really well for 1-2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed.
• Use a wider, deep bowl rather than a smaller one to avoid the chia seeds sticking together.
• If your pudding is lumpy in the end, simply take a spoon and break up the lumps.
• Adjust the ratio of liquid to chia seeds depending on your preferred consistency. I like mine to be in the middle of runny-thick.

how to serve and store

Serve: Enjoy your blue matcha chia pudding chilled, straight from the fridge. Top it with fresh fruit, granola, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra flavor and texture!

Store: Keep it in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Give it a quick stir before serving if it thickens up too much. It’s perfect for meal prep and easy grab-and-go breakfasts!
