1. Sift matcha into a small cup and whisk with 2 tablespoons of hot water until completely smooth.
2. In a bowl or jar, combine milk, matcha paste, honey, and vanilla. Stir well until combined.
3. Add chia seeds. Stir vigorously to distribute evenly.
4. Wait 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Why Matcha Chia Pudding Is One of the Healthiest Snacks in Bangladesh
Chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and plant-based protein. Matcha provides EGCG antioxidants and L-Theanine for calm, sustained energy. According to Healthline, matcha contains up to 137 times more antioxidants than regular steeped green tea. Together, this pudding delivers a remarkable concentration of nutrients in a single, easily digestible portion.
* High in fibre: keeps you full for longer
* Rich in antioxidants: from both matcha and the fruit toppings
* Good for gut health: chia seeds expand in the gut, supporting digestive regularity
* Slow-release energy: no sugar crash
