Pudding Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons green tea matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 4 tablespoons agave nectar
Optional Toppings
- 1 cup fresh mango (or preferred fruit such as kiwi)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the almond milk, chia seeds, matcha powder, vanilla extract, salt, and agave nectar until well mixed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding.
- Stir and Serve: Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir to combine any settled seeds, then transfer to serving bowls.
- Add Toppings: Top the pudding with fresh mango or any preferred fruit and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes if desired.

- Any milk substitute, such as oat or coconut milk, can be used.
- Letting the pudding sit overnight yields the best texture.
- Use fresh fruit toppings for added nutrition and flavor.
- Matcha powder can be substituted with powdered green tea if needed.
