If you are looking for a delicious and high antioxidant snack to add to your diet, try the matcha chia seed pudding. This recipe gives around 2 servings and is easily stored in the fridge for up to a week. It is a great way to add matcha, which is rich in natural antioxidants such as catechins, a class of plant compounds that protect against damaged cells. Due to matcha’s caffeine amounts (35mg per half teaspoon) paired with a compound called L-theanine, it is a great substitute for coffee that can fuel your body and provide energy throughout the day without a caffeine crash. Additionally, chia seeds contain an abundance of high soluble fiber content, with high water absorbing ability, becoming a gel-like texture. This allows you to increase fullness and slow absorption in your digestive tract. Chia seeds also allow a plant-based form of omega-3 fatty acids (3.5g in this recipe!) as well as quality protein in your diet. If you like chia pudding and matcha, this recipe is a MUST ADD to your day to day snacks.
