Ingredients: (makes 1 serving)
For the matcha chia bowl soak:
1 cup plant-based milk such as coconut, almond or macadamia
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1-2 teaspoons matcha to taste (we use 2 tsp.)
vanilla stevia drops or preferred sweetener, to taste
pinch of pink Himalayan salt
For the smoothie version:
¼ – ½ avocado for creaminess
Mint extract or fresh mint leaves
Optional ingredients:
Shredded coconut (lightly toasted)
Almond slivers (lightly toasted)
Fresh strawberries
Directions:
1. Mix chia seeds with your preferred milk, matcha, sweetener, and salt. Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight until the chia seeds absorb the liquid, creating a pudding-like consistency. If you feel that the mixture is to thick, add more liquid to reach desired consistency. Sweeten to taste or add your topping of choice.
2. Should you prefer the smoothie version, blend the mixture in a food processor. Add avocado for extra creaminess, mint leaves for that fresh tang, and ice for that refreshingly cool ice cream shake feel.
