Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine ⅔ cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup of unsweetened plant-based milk, 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, ½ scoop of vanilla-flavored whey protein powder, and your preferred sweetener. Whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
  2. Gradually stir in 2.5 tablespoons of chia seeds, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture. The mixture will thicken once chilled.
  3. Carefully fill single-serving jars or containers with the mixture, aiming for a height of about three-quarters full.
  4. Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for optimal texture.
  5. After chilling, gently stir the pudding in each jar to redistribute any settled chia seeds, then top with fresh fruits, nut butter, or crunchy elements before serving.
