This chia pudding can bring a lot to a weekday morning routine. It packs in caffeine from the matcha and a bright tang and dose of vitamin C from the mango while making your weekday breakfast as simple as opening the container, grabbing a spoon, and digging in. Depending on your desired portion size, this makes enough to last the entire length of the work week, but we find the assembled puddings are best consumed in 4 days or less.

There’s some liberty to be had too—any milk or alternative milk will work, the honey can be omitted if you’d rather it be less sweet, and toppings like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or granola are encouraged. While ceremonial-grade matcha will always yield the most vibrant green and smoothest taste, culinary-grade is perfectly fine here. For the fruit, we found Dole frozen mango produced the best results, sweet and thick as custard.
