This strawberry matcha chia pudding is a fresh and light snack or treat that’s packed with fiber and flavor! It’s gluten and dairy free, and made with fresh and simple ingredients.

Three cups of strawberry chia pudding on the counter.

 

Did you know that chia seeds are one of the best sources of fiber? 2 tbsp of chia seeds packs 10 g of fiber for a filling and easy way to hit your fiber goals! We always tend to think of foods like salad to have a ton of fiber (and of course, salad is still great) but chia pudding is a sneaky way to pack in a lot of fiber while eating a simple snack.

Plain chia pudding can get a little boring, but luckily, there are so many ways to enjoy it, like this layered strawberry matcha chia pudding! It’s basically like having a strawberry matcha latte, but in a fiber packed snack form. How can you go wrong?

  • A healthy make ahead snack. I love a snack that I can meal prep and then have all week!
  • A great source of fiber! Fiber is so important, but can be hard to fit into your day and this packs a serious fiber punch while also being delicious!

The Ingredients for Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding

  • Strawberries. For the strawberry layer and for topping. You should be able to make this with other berries as well.
  • Coconut Yogurt. Culina is my favorite brand.  
  • Almond Milk. 
  • Vanilla Extract.
  • Chia Seeds. This is such a good source of fibers, so love having a snack with so many chia seeds!
  • Matcha Powder. Pique is my favorite brand of matcha. 

How to make Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding

Tips & Tricks 

  • Meal prep this chia pudding. Chia pudding is amazing meal prep to pair to round out your breakfast or have as a snack. Simply cover and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Switch up the berries. Raspberries and blueberries would also work, but I just love the strawberry and match pairing.

  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut yogurt
