Ditch the holiday roast and celebrate with vibrant vegetables. Santé magazine's December green Christmas menu proves you can skip meat and fish for a festive feast. Try this refreshing chia pudding with kiwi and matcha—a standout dessert or breakfast option.
Serves 4 | Prep: 15 minutes + 8 hours chilling
Ingredients
- 6 kiwis
- 1 liter almond milk (vanilla-flavored or unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons light agave syrup
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder (Japanese green tea)
- 100 grams chia seeds
- Equipment needed: blender
Preparation
- Peel 4 kiwis and chop into pieces. Blend with almond milk, agave syrup, and matcha powder until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chia seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight. The seeds absorb the liquid, forming a creamy, jelly-like texture.
- Divide pudding into 4 glasses or coupes. Peel and slice remaining 2 kiwis; garnish each serving.
