Probiotic Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding – A Cool, Creamy Superfood Treat
What do you get when you blend the energy of matcha, the gut-boosting power of water kefir, and the luscious sweetness of strawberries? This Probiotic Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding: a refreshing, no-fuss recipe that’s as good for your body as it is delicious.
Created in collaboration with our friends at Blume, this creamy, dreamy pudding is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. It starts with fermented coconut milk , then gets a nutrient-rich upgrade with chia seeds, vanilla, and Blume’s Coconut Matcha Blend. The result is a light, satisfying pudding with a subtle matcha flavour and a powerful probiotic punch.
Why We Love It:
- Great for busy mornings – Think overnight oats, but lighter and dairy-free.
- Naturally energizing – Matcha contains L-theanine for calm focus, with half the caffeine of coffee.
- Gut-nourishing – Fermenting the coconut milk with water kefir introduces beneficial bacteria and a mild tang.
- Topped with strawberry magic – A quick stovetop compote of strawberries, sugar, and vanilla adds a bright, jammy finish.
And if you’re new to the world of fermentation, here’s a fun fact: water kefir grains ferment only plant-based milk, making this recipe completely vegan-friendly. Unlike milk kefir, water kefir creates a light, sparkling ferment perfect for coconut milk... and your digestive system!
Storage Tip:
This pudding will keep in the fridge for several days, and you can store extra compote in a sealed container to spoon over yogurt, toast, or more pudding throughout the week. It’s a make-ahead win.
Whether you’re looking to simplify your mornings or add more plant-based probiotics to your diet, this Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding is a vibrant, satisfying way to do it.

Ingredients
-
2 cans coconut milk
-
1/4 cup first ferment water kefir
-
1 tbsp vanilla
-
5 tbsp chia seeds
-
1 cup chopped up strawberries
-
1 tbsp white sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla
Toppings
Directions
Part 1: Making The Matcha Chia Pudding
Begin by fermenting the coconut milk. Add both cans to a brewing jar, then add the first ferment water kefir. Stir well to incorporate into the milk and grains. Leave in a consistently warm place for 24 hours, covered but not sealed.
After 24 hours, coconut milk should be lightly fermented. It may taste slightly sour.
Add remaining ingredients into the jar and mix well. Place in fridge to thicken overnight (or at least 4 hours.)
Part 2: Topping the Chia Pudding
Combine topping ingredients (strawberries, sugar, and 1tsp vanilla) into a saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once juice begins to form, mash some of the strawberries.
Cook for 15 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and leave to cool.
Once cool, top Matcha Chia Pudding with the Strawberry Compote. Store extra compote into the refrigerator.
Relax & enjoy this tasty treat.
Recipe Note
Although water kefir and milk kefir are different grain cultures, both ferment and produce probiotic foods. Water kefir grains respond only to plant-based milk, while milk kefir grains respond only to dairy milk. Water kefir is the perfect alternative for vegans who want the health benefits from kefir without dairy products.
Matcha is made from whole tea leaves!
Bonus: Blume’s Coconut Matcha Blend has half the caffeine compared to one cup of coffee; giving you energy you need without that caffeine crash all while fortifying the immune system. Win-win!
