This kiwi chia pudding combines fresh kiwi, lime juice, and a little matcha for a sweet, lightly tangy flavor with a subtle earthy note. It’s simple to make, sets in the fridge, and works well when you want something fresh and already prepared.
I love kiwis and could easily eat them every day. Of all the chia pudding combinations I make during the week, this one is probably my favorite.
It's deliciously zesty, with a sweet-and-tangy kick, like my lemon chia pudding, and the matcha adds a subtle earthy note that balances the fruit.

Kiwi Chia Pudding Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Fresh Kiwi Fruit: Use two ripe kiwis for a vitamin C kick. This fruit is also rich in Vitamin E and K, with an impressive nutrient profile. Plus, they add a natural sweetness to the pudding.
- Matcha Powder: Boost energy with a tad of green tea caffeine.
- Honey: I'm adding just enough to round things out. Adjust to taste.
- Lime juice: Complements the kiwi fruits and mellows down the earthy flavors of matcha.
- Nut Milk: Choose creamy, unsweetened milk. I prefer cashew, walnut, or hazelnut milk.
- Chia Seeds: It's what gives the pudding its texture.
- Garnishes (optional): Extra kiwi slices, shaved dark chocolate or chocolate chips, coconut flakes, shredded coconut, or coconut yogurt for topping.
How to Make It
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step One (Picture 1 above) - Add the kiwis, milk, matcha powder, honey, and lime juice to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Step Two (Picture 2 above) - Stir in the chia seeds.
Step Three (Picture 3 above) - Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or small bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Note: You can also meal prep a batch of chia pudding and stir it into the kiwi mixture to adjust the consistency instantly to your desired thickness.
Before serving, top with fresh kiwi, coconut flakes, or any other toppings you enjoy. I usually add a bit of dark chocolate. The slight sweetness cuts through the tangy flavors.
Variations & Substitutions
- Matcha Option: You can leave out the match powder or replace it with spirulina if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- Milk Options: Use any plant-based milk you like. Coconut milk will give you a slightly creamier consistency.
- Sweetener Options: Adjust the sweetness to your taste. I usually use a small amount of honey, but maple syrup works just as well.
- Citrus Swap: If you don’t have lime juice, lemon juice is an easy substitute.
Storage
Store the kiwi chia pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
