Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
Spices and Sweeteners:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., hazelnuts or almonds)
- Optional: additional toppings (e.g., sliced banana, coconut flakes, or more cinnamon)
Instructions
- Gather a mixing bowl and combine chia seeds, coconut milk, turmeric, cinnamon, honey, black pepper, and salt. Whisk ingredients thoroughly until the mixture transforms into a uniform golden-hued liquid.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then gently whisk again to disperse any chia seed clusters, ensuring even liquid absorption.
- Seal the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours or preferably overnight, enabling chia seeds to expand and create a pudding-like texture.
- After chilling, stir the pudding to confirm consistent smoothness. If the consistency appears too dense, incorporate a small amount of additional coconut milk to achieve desired thickness.
- Transfer the golden pudding into serving bowls, garnishing with optional toppings like chopped almonds, sliced bananas, or toasted coconut flakes. Optionally dust with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for enhanced aromatic profile.
- Serve chilled and savor this nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory golden milk chia pudding as a revitalizing breakfast or wholesome afternoon refreshment.
Notes
- Swap sweeteners easily with stevia or agave for a lower-sugar version, perfect for diabetic-friendly diets.
- Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder to transform this into a post-workout recovery pudding with extra nutrition.
- Ground cardamom can elevate the flavor profile, creating a more complex and aromatic golden milk experience.
- If coconut milk feels too rich, substitute with almond or oat milk for a lighter texture without compromising taste.
