Creamy Matcha & Raspberry Chia Pudding

This creamy matcha and raspberry chia pot is one of those recipes that look indulgent and genuinely is. Lighter in texture than a standard chia pudding but somehow richer, every ingredient is doing something quietly purposeful for your hormones and your skin.

Built on a food-first approach to cycle-aware nutrition, this recipe combines gut-supporting coconut kefir, omega-3-rich chia seeds and antioxidant-packed rasperries to support oestrogen metabolism, reduce inflammation and nourish the skin from the inside. A blood-sugar-balancing breakfast that works with your hormones, not against them.

Why This Matcha Chia Pudding Supports Your Cycle

The follicular and ovulatory phases are where this recipe really comes into its own. Oestrogen is rising, energy is building, and the body responds well to light, probiotic-rich, antioxidant-forward foods. This chia pot provides exactly that – along with sustained blood sugar support and the kind of nourishment your gut and skin genuinely benefit from during this window of your cycle.

The pumpkin seed topping also makes it a thoughtful addition during the menstrual phase, when zinc and immune support become a greater priority.

Ingredient Focus

Chia seeds → omega-3s, fibre → a slow-releasing source of plant-based omega-3s that support oestrogen metabolism and keep blood sugar steady through the morning. Fibre also supports healthy hormone clearance via the gut.

complicated.

Coconut kefir → live cultures, probiotics → supports the gut microbiome directly, and a healthy gut is one of the most underrated foundations of hormone balance, influencing how efficiently the body clears and recycles oestrogen.

Grade AA matcha → L-theanine, antioxidants, caffeine → offers calm, focused energy without the cortisol spike of coffee. L-theanine supports a steadier stress response, making it a particularly useful choice in the first half of your cycle when energy is rising and clarity is at its peak.

Greek yoghurt → protein, calcium → supports progesterone production and adrenal health. Protein at breakfast also anchors blood sugar for the hours ahead.

Collagen (Elavate) → structural protein, amino acids → Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body, essential for connective tissue, skin, joints, and bones, and increasingly valuable. This recipe uses Elavate unflavoured triple super blend marine, bovine and chicken collagen combined.

Raspberries → vitamin C, ellagic acid, antioxidants → rich in antioxidants that support skin clarity, reduce inflammation and help protect cells during hormonal fluctuations. Ellagic acid in particular supports cellular and reproductive health.

Pumpkin seeds → zinc, phytoestrogens → a meaningful source of zinc to support oestrogen production and immune function. Especially relevant during the menstrual phase when both can naturally dip.

Raw honey (honey & greens wildflower) → enzymes, natural sweetness → UK-sourced raw wildflower honey adds gentle sweetness without a sharp blood sugar spike. Enzyme-rich with a smooth, floral depth – entirely optional, but worth it.

Recipe

Ingredients

Matcha Chia Pudding:

• 1-2 tsp matcha powder (sieved)

• 2 Tbsp chia seeds

• 2 tsp natural collagen powder

• 100 ml coconut kefir

• 2 Tbsp Greek yoghurt 

• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

• 1 1/2 tsp raw honey 

  
  

Raspberry compote:

• 1 cup frozen raspberries 

• Squeeze of ½ lemon 

• A dash of water

  
  

Serve with:

• Coconut shavings

• Pumpkin seeds

• A light dusting of matcha

  
  

Method:

1. Spoon chia seeds into your chosen jar or bowl

2. In a separate bowl, combine collagen powder with a small splash of water and whisk until fully dissolved and smooth.

3. Add the coconut kefir and sieved matcha to the collagen mixture, whisking until creamy and vibrant.

4. Add a little more water and continue to whisk to a fluid, even consistency.

5. Add Greek yoghurt to the chia seeds, then pour the matcha and collagen mixture over the top.

6. Finish with a light drizzle of honey if using.

7. Stir slowly until fully combined – smooth, light and creamy.

8. Cover and refridgerate overnight. This creates a softer, velvety texture rather than a thick set.

Raspberry compote:

1. Add frozen raspberries and lemon juice to a small saucepan with a dash of water.

2. Simmer over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until you have a soft, jammy consistency.

   
   

To Serve

The next morning, stir the chia pudding gently, then top with raspberry compote, coconut shavings, pumpkin seeds and a light dusting of matcha.

Serving Options

• Serve straight from the fridge as quick, nourishing breakfast

• Pair with a slice of seeded toast and nut butter for a more substantial morning meal

• Spoon into a small jar and take it with you – it travels well and keeps well through the morning.
