Matcha chia pudding
I am sure most of you by now have heard about the super food called 'Matcha tea'. A tea which people in Japan have been drinking for yeaars now. I jumped into the Matcha band wagon a little late, but I must say I wasn't disappointed at all. I love slightly nutty flavor it has, it is more like how turmeric would taste like when added to milk or made into a latte.
Few known health benefits that Matcha has are -
- Enhances concentration
- Strengths the immune system
- High in Anti-oxidant
- Boots energy
- Increases energy levels
These are just to name a few. Add it to your smoothies, make a dessert or just make a chia seed pudding like I did for that extra double does of goodness from chia seeds ;)
Note - if you feel it is too thick feel free to add more milk as per your consistency that you like.
