to raw - matcha green tea pudding
Chia puddings are the best!
Perfect for when you have an early wake up call, or just a morning where you have to run out the door.
You can prepare this in advance and leave it in the fridge to soak and spout.
- sprouting unlocks all the potential in a nutrient!! Imagine a tree or a plant could grow just from this little seed, so imagine what power is locked inside of these, and that by soaking and sprouting you can take in all this amazing energy and use it throughout the day! -
The chia seeds will form a gel in any liquid creating a pudding like constistency.
I have added matcha for that extra kick in the morning.
When you need to be focussed, in the moment, without turning to coffee.

is is said that match is significantly higher in antioxidants and chlorophyll than other forms of green tea. It packs a powerful, yet mellow caffeine punch, too (a teaspoon of matcha is comparable to a cup of coffee in terms of caffeine, though for me a serving size is half a teaspoon mixed with a generous cup of hot water). And it also contains Vitamin C, potassium, and amino acids, including L-Theanine, which is said to promote relaxation and calm. (I feel more invigorated after I drink matcha, but I don’t feel the coffee jittery)
Add some of your favorite berries for some extra anti-oxidants!
( and the blueberries will help against that belly fat! ;-))
