Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- Juice and zest of 1 regular lime or 2 key limes
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp matcha powder (optional, for color)
Optional Topping
- 1/4 cup graham crackers, crumbled
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, lime juice and zest, Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, pure maple syrup, and matcha powder if using. Stir thoroughly to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like texture.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, stir the pudding well to break up any lumps. If desired, sprinkle the crumbled graham crackers on top for a crunchy texture before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Chilling time is essential for the chia seeds to absorb liquid and form the pudding consistency.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or another dairy-free alternative.
- The optional matcha powder is primarily for a subtle green color and a slight antioxidant boost, but can be omitted if preferred.
- Graham crackers add a nice crunch and mimic the traditional pie crust but can be omitted for a gluten-free version or if you want to keep it lower in carbs.
