Kiwi Chia Pudding is a healthy breakfast that is easy to whip up. It is made with fresh kiwi fruit, nut milk, lime juice, a tad of honey, and green matcha tea for an energy boost.
It's healthy, delicious, flavorful, refreshing, and only requires 6 ingredients.
I love kiwis. I can eat this low-in-sugar, nutritious fruit every day.
Of all the different flavor combinations I make to prepare chia puddings for the week ahead, this one is probably my favorite.
Like my lemon chia pudding, it's deliciously zesty with a sweet and tangy kick. And green matcha adds a subtle earthy taste and a lovely energy boost to start your day. Let's make it.
Kiwi Chia Pudding Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Fresh Kiwi fruit: Add two for a zesty vitamin C kick. It also has Vitamin E and vitamin K, with an impressive nutrient profile.
- Matcha Powder: Boost energy with a tad of green tea caffeine.
- Honey: A little goes a long way.
- 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: The star of this kiwi chia pudding.
- 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 milk, kiwis, 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. Pour the mixture into a mason jar or small bowls, cover it, and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
Note: You can also meal-prep this basic chia pudding recipe and stir the desired amount of chia pudding into the sweet and creamy kiwi-matcha mixture. This allows you to make a thinner or thicker pudding as desired instantly.
Before serving, top with more fresh kiwi, coconut flakes, or any other healthy toppings you love.
Dark chocolate shavings as a topping is my favorite. Its subtle sweetness cuts through the tangy flavors.
Variations
- Feel free to leave out the match powder or replace it with spirulina (see my base chia pudding recipe containing a kiwi spirulina chia pudding).
- Choose the plant-based milk you prefer. Coconut milk can add a creamier consistency if preferred.
- Adjust the sweetness based on preference. Although I prefer a tad of raw honey in this kiwi chia pudding recipe, maple syrup can also work.
- If you have no lime juice, try lemon juice.
Storage
Put your kiwi chia pudding into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will stay fresh and tasty for up to 5 days.
This makes it a perfect breakfast or snack option for meal prep, ensuring you have a healthy option ready to go when you are.
