Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder (optional, for color)
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Zest of 1/2 lime, divided
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice (such as almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: Add the chia seeds, matcha powder (if using), half of the lime zest, and a pinch of kosher salt into a lidded jar. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Add liquids and mix: Pour in the unsweetened milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup into the jar. Stir vigorously to combine, making sure no chia seeds remain stuck to the bottom or clumped together.
  3. Refrigerate: Secure the lid tightly on the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill and thicken for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and top with the remaining lime zest and additional Greek yogurt if desired. Enjoy your creamy, tangy, and nutritious Key Lime Pie Chia Pudding!

Notes

  • Store it: Keep the chia pudding refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • Meal Prep: This recipe makes one jar of pudding; multiply ingredients as needed to prepare multiple servings for the week.
  • Optional: Matcha powder is used for a subtle color addition and can be omitted if preferred.
  • For a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.
  • The pudding thickens overnight, but if too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
