In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, milk, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until well combined. The vibrant green color of the matcha will brighten up your mixture!
Ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will help them absorb the liquid properly and create that perfect pudding texture.
Transfer the mixture to a container or individual jars, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight. This is the crucial step where the chia seeds will swell and thicken the mixture into a delightful pudding.
Once your pudding has thickened, give it a gentle stir before serving. If desired, layer with vanilla Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor. Dust the top with additional matcha powder for an eye-catching finish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
