Ingredients & Substitutions
Matcha is fantastic for providing a gentle caffeine lift without the jitters, and it’s packed with antioxidants. If you don’t have almond milk, any plant milk will do, but I love the nutty flavor it adds. Chia seeds are little powerhouses of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making this drink not just refreshing, but also super nourishing!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to prep a double batch and keep it in the fridge for a quick breakfast option later in the week.
- •If you're new to matcha, start with a little less and adjust to your taste as you get used to its unique flavor.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I add a scoop of my favorite protein powder for an extra boost.
- •You can also throw in some fresh berries for a fruity twist!
Storage & Freezing
This elixir is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as the chia seeds will settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored plant milk?

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and a splash of the almond milk until smooth. This helps to avoid clumps.
- 2
Once the matcha is well mixed, pour in the remaining almond milk, followed by the chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using).
- 3
Stir everything together until well combined. You’ll start to see the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
- 4
Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes. This gives the chia seeds time to swell and thicken the elixir.
- 5
After the wait, give it a good stir. If you want it chilled, add some ice cubes to your serving glasses.
- 6
Pour the elixir into glasses, and enjoy! You can also top it with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a few chia seeds for presentation.
