Creator: Leslie Stokes
There’s just something about opening the fridge and having breakfast already waiting for you… especially during busy seasons when mornings feel chaotic and the last thing you want to do is think about what to eat. These Strawberry Matcha Chia Pudding jars have quickly become one of my favorite meal prep breakfasts because they feel fancy and fresh while still being packed with protein and incredibly simple to make.
And honestly? These taste like something you’d grab from a cute coffee shop for $12… except they’re made with simple ingredients, loaded with protein, and will keep you full for hours.
The homemade strawberry chia layer on the bottom completely takes this recipe to another level. It gives the jars this sweet jammy layer that pairs perfectly with the earthy matcha chia pudding and creamy vanilla Greek yogurt on top. It’s fresh, creamy, slightly sweet, and feels like the perfect spring and summer breakfast.
I also love that these are great for meal prep because once everything is made, all you have to do is layer the jars and grab one out of the fridge during the week. They’re packed with protein thanks to the Fairlife milk and Oikos Pro yogurt, and the chia seeds add fiber that helps keep you full all morning long.
If you’re someone who loves matcha lattes, strawberries and cream flavors, or easy fridge prep breakfasts, you are going to LOVE these.

Meal Prep & Storage Tips
These jars will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making them perfect for weekly meal prep.
Store them in airtight jars or containers and keep toppings separate until ready to serve for the best texture.
I love making these ahead during summer because they’re cold, refreshing, filling, and require zero cooking in the morning.
Tips for the best chia pudding
One of the biggest mistakes people make with chia pudding is not letting it chill long enough. This mixture NEEDS at least 4 hours in the fridge so the chia seeds can fully thicken and create that creamy pudding texture.
I personally think overnight is even better.
Another tip: whisk the mixture really well before refrigerating so the matcha fully blends into the milk and doesn’t clump up. I also like to stir it once again after about 10 minutes in the fridge to help evenly distribute the chia seeds.
And don’t skip the strawberry layer. The homemade strawberry chia jam makes these taste so much more fresh and flavorful than basic chia pudding.
I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social media for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
