Ingredients
Base
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons Splenda® Monk Fruit Sweetener Pouch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Dissolving Matcha: In a bowl, whisk together the matcha green tea powder and hot water until all clumps are fully dissolved, resulting in a smooth matcha mixture.
- Mixing Ingredients: Stir in the milk of your choice, Splenda Monk Fruit Sweetener, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds into the matcha mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
- Refrigeration: Refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours to allow the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Serving: Divide the chia mixture evenly between two small jars or cups. Add optional toppings such as additional Greek yogurt, whipped topping, or diced fresh strawberries if desired.
- Storage: Cover the jars and refrigerate. Consume the parfaits within three days for optimal freshness and taste.
Notes
- Make sure to whisk the matcha powder well to avoid clumps for a smooth texture.
- Feel free to use any milk you prefer including dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Letting the chia seeds soak is crucial to achieve the perfect pudding consistency.
- Parfaits can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for quick meals or snacks.
- Optional toppings can be varied according to your taste and dietary preferences.
