Made with chia seeds, nut milk, sweetener, and matcha powder, this chia pudding transforms into a beautiful layered parfait with the addition of granola, coconut yogurt, and fresh berries.
This Matcha Chia Seed Pudding Parfait with Coconut Yogurt is loaded with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, making it an enjoyable treat any time of day.
My love for matcha runs deep, so it was only fitting that I added a matcha chia pudding to my repertoire of recipes.
Chia seeds are combined with nut milk, a bit of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ceremonial grade matcha powder. This mixture sets up in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
When you’re ready to eat, I like to portion the chia pudding into a pretty glass and top with some coconut yogurt and crunchy granola.
Add another layer of the chia pudding, followed by some berries and a bit of local raw honey for all of its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.
In one bite, you’re fueling yourself with protein, fiber, and healthy fats from the chia seeds, probiotics from the coconut yogurt, and vitamins from the berries! Enjoy!

Ingredients for Matcha Chia Seed Pudding
In just a few minutes with a handful of staple ingredients and you have a bowl full of chia pudding. Here’s what you’ll need.
- Nut Milk: Use whatever milk you prefer here. I usually use my Creamy Vanilla Cashew Milk, but I also like @malkorganics nut milks because they are made with pure, clean ingredients.
- Chia Seeds: These tiny, mighty seeds contain fiber, protein, and healthy fats! I prefer soaking chia seeds in liquid as opposed to eating them raw. They’re easier to digest that way.

Pin It- Maple Syrup: A bit of sweetener to liven up the pudding.
- Vanilla Extract: A hint of vanilla plays so well with the matcha.
- Matcha: There are literally hundreds and hundreds of matchas to choose from! I used @piquelife for this recipe, but you can also watch my recent matcha taste test video here for some of my other faves.
Recipe Tip
When shopping for matcha, look for ceremonial grade. Buying ceremonial grade matcha is 100% better than culinary matcha, which tends to have a more bitter, less sweet taste and duller green color.
- Serving Suggestions: Of course, you can eat the matcha pudding by itself, but transforming it into a parfait of sorts just feels extra special for a weekday, doesn’t it? Here, I used @purely_elizabeth, @cocojune_organic coconut yogurt, fresh raspberries, and a drizzle of local raw honey.
How to Make Matcha Chia Pudding
In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix the nut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and matcha powder.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
To assemble the parfaits, layer the chia pudding, coconut yogurt, and granola. Top with raspberries, additional granola, and a bit of honey. Eat and enjoy!
