One of the things I love most about matcha is its versatility: it’s a flavorful, healthful drink on its own, but also serves as a great flavor for frappes, shaved ice, ice pops, or even on toasted nuts. It goes excellently with chocolate, as you will see in this chia seed pudding, and also in my matcha energy bites.
So, elevate your dessert game with this chia seed pudding made from Numi Ceremonial Matcha and cocoa powder. Sweetened with dates, this recipe is fairly guilt-free, but absolutely tasty. It even makes a great healthy snack when you need something sweet. The best part is, it is very easy to make!
