# How To Make It:

01 - Whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until pudding thickens to desired consistency.
02 - Combine hulled strawberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
03 - Whisk together coconut yogurt, matcha green tea powder, and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth and evenly colored green. Ensure no lumps remain.
04 - Spoon an even layer of prepared chia pudding into the bottom of each serving jar. Follow with a layer of strawberry puree, then a layer of matcha yogurt. Repeat layering sequence if desired for additional depth.
05 - Top each jar with fresh sliced strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, or granola as preferred. Serve thoroughly chilled.
