By now, I would say 99.9% of us know that turmeric is good for you, and golden milk tastes delicious. But, my friends, have you tried it mixed with Chia Seed Pudding?

Not only does this 7-Ingredient breakfast look pretty, but it tastes delicious too. And it couldn’t be more simple to make. All you have to do is combine some chia seeds, plant milk, and spices in a bowl, whisk whisk (or blend) it up, and let it sit! Then, portion it into some adorable glass jars for a perfect on-the-go breakfast.

Okay, the glass jars can be optional. But they do look cute, don’t they?

This golden milk chia pudding is just as versatile as it is tasty. I’ve included a mix of my favorite spices in the recipe, but you really do whatever floats your boat (or flavors your chia seeds?). The basic combination of golden milk is simply turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and sweetener. While I do love that blend, I also like to add in some ground cardamom and just a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick. If you try it out, let me know what you think!

A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS:

  • Chia seeds tend to “clump” together unevenly, so I would recommend stirring the mixture once, letting it sit for a bit, then stirring again to break up any thicker spots.
  • If you would like a smoother consistency to your pudding, you can blend it together after it sets!
  • Feel free to add in / take out any spices of your choosing according to your taste preferences.

Golden Milk Chia Seed Pudding

This Golden Milk Chia Seed Pudding combines your favorite healing beverage with the convenience of a grab and go breakfast! It’s Vegan, Gluten Free, and Perfect for Meal Prep.

  • Author: Caitlin Shoemaker
  • Prep Time: 15 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 0 Minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: No Bake
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (165 g) chia seeds
  • 3 1/2 cups (830 ml) non-dairy milk (I used coconut)
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper (aids in absorption of the Curcumin in Turmeric. You can’t taste it!
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp liquid sweetener (optional, or to taste)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well; let sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again. Sometimes the chia seeds will stick to the bottom of the container and leave extra liquid on top.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly between 4 jars, then place each jar in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
  3. Serve as desired; I would suggest topping with fruit, coconut, and/or nut butter!

Notes

  • Blender option: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on low (or pulse) until just combined. Let sit for 5 minutes, then repeat and transfer into jars. You can also blend the final product in a high speed blender for 60 seconds, for a smooth and creamy “pudding” consistency
  • Single Serving: use ⅓ cup Chia Seeds, ⅔ cup Plant Milk, ¼ tsp Turmeric, ⅛ tsp Cinnamon, 1/16 tsp Ginger and Cardamom, ½ tsp Vanilla Extract, ½ tbsp Sweetener, and a pinch of Cayenne, Black Pepper, and Salt.

  1. Saw you promoting this on Instagram and decided to give it a try – and I’m happy I did!

    I added some peanut butter before eating, and it’s so good! I’ll be making this again!

    1. I would recommend leftover nut butter jars (~160z)! That way you have room to put toppings in there too

  2. Love this recipe – so simple and delicious. I omitted the coconut milk and added a bit more almond milk, it was a bit thin but totally doable, next time I’ll just add a smidge more chia seeds. Thanks for a fab recipe ????

  3. Me and another bloke were having a right argy-bargy on these golden milks I keeps reading about. I quite think a few sliced up bananas would do brilliant with the cardamom and the turmeric. I’m gonna give him a butchers at this recipe and he’ll have bugger all to say about it, I assure you. I’ll be proper chuffed when he admits I was right 🙂

  4. Your work is so precious, everything in it.
    What a lovely recipe! I will definitely try this.
    Maybe will add some clove or a nutmeg 🙂
