    This Chia Pudding is super easy and amazingly delicious. All the super foods chia seeds, turmeric, ginger. Filling and refreshing. The turmeric is mixed in after boiling it with coconut milk. Turmeric when cooked tastes better and less bitter. Warming the liquid also helps chia seed absorb faster and not get lumpy as they sit overnight. You can whisk in all the ingredients together without the extra step. Add spices and flavors of choice. I like to garnish these with candied ginger. Add other toppings of choice, more seeds, slivered nuts, granola , fresh fruit etc. 

    For a lemony zingy version, try my Lemon Curd Chia Pudding. Creamy, Zesty and all kinds of amazing.

    This article in the Rolling stones about the puppy mill industry is a must read. “Most every pup sold in stores in America comes from this kind of suffering – or worse,” “A cinder-block kennel, hidden from the street, housed the bulk of this puppy-mill stock: 50 or 60 more parent dogs who’d likely never seen sunlight or spent a day outside this toxic room. They wept and bayed, had gone crazy trying to eat themselves, and spun in crazed circles as we toured the maze of cages. Some went limp as the rescuers knelt to scoop them.” “If you buy a puppy from a pet store, this is what you’re paying for: a dog raised in puppy-mill hell.” Please #AdoptDontShop

    Tilikum, the orca whale, passed away last week. He was forcefully bred many times, 11 of his offsprings died before him in captivity. Captivity is not a way to live for these magnificent living beings. There are options such as whale watching tours to see them in natural setting, happy and free.

    Ingredients

    • 1 can coconut milk or 1 1/3 cup non dairy milk of choice
    • 3/4 to 1 tsp turmeric
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) ground ginger
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) ground cinnamon or cardamom or other spices
    • a good dash of black pepper
    • 1 tbsp orange preserves or zest of half a small orange
    • 2 tbsp maple syrup or more to taste
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) + 2 tbsp chia seeds

    Instructions

    • Heat 1 cup of the coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pepper over medium heat until just boiling. Take off heat.
    • Add rest of the coconut milk, orange preserves, maple syrup and chia seeds and mix vigorously. Taste and adjust sweet, flavor if needed. Let it sit to cool completely for 10 to 15 minutes.
    • Whisk the mixture vigorously again. The chia seeds should have expanded a bit and should distribute well. You can directly serve at this point or pour into serving containers and chill for more hydrated chia seeds and thicker pudding. Garnish with whipped coconut cream and candied ginger and serve.

      Amazing! I had only 200ml coconut milk, so I completed with vanilla soy milk and ommitted the maple syrup, since the soy milk is already sweetened. After 1,5 hours sitting it was perfectly creamy. I added some roasted almond because I felt like having some crunch. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

      Chia is superb for dogs! My Texas rescue chihuahua, Mariposa, was a very abused mother from a puppy mill. I adore her and she adores me…she is by my side 24 hours a day…just the way SHE likes it. I take her every where. People love her at first sight. She does not bark, bite, not even when someone comes to the door! She exhibits great intelligence together with the funniest personality of any dog.
      She is so much fun. Yes, adopt your next pet.
      This is my family’s 6th adoption.
      Ok…
      The flip side of Chia is Zen Basil seeds. They gel like chia and gram for gram they 3x more nourishing than chia for humans.
      I keep chia for my chihuahua who is fascinated by their jelly consistency. She loves them!
      This recipe sounds divine…I will prepare some for Mariposa and myself. She eats only people food! What I cook just for her.

      i have made this a few times, but I didn’t realize you are supposed to leave overnight! the recipe is delicious! However, my chia seeds always clump up because i rinse them using a strainer. I use a whisk but the seeds have already clumped up when i try to add to the turmeric milk. How do I do this without the clumping? Do i skip the rinse step? Thank you.

      Saw this on Instagram & I’ve made this twice this week. Great breakfast, easy and quick. I’ve been getting tired of overnight oats.

      Didn’t have orange preserves or oranges so I used lemon zest once and raspberry jam once, both worked well. Thank you!

      I make this with oatmilk (instead of coconut milk) and let it sit for several hours in the fridge, overnight probably would have been better. It had an ok taste but I think the cinnamon was a bit too strong after taste, I would cut in half.
      I really wanted to like it but it reminded me of Breastmilk baby poo.
      3 stars for healthy ingredients but I don’t plan on making it again 🙁

      HI!
      Sounds delicious!

      Can you just put all the ingredients in a jar and let soak overnight?

      AND… what happens if you leave out the maple syrup?

        yes you can. whisk it a couple of times in between as chia seeds can clump up.

        yes the milk is heated so the chia absorbs the milk faster. then everything is chilled for a few hours. You can also mix the hia int the milk without heating and chill. Make sure to whisk the mixture a few times in the chilling time so chia seeds dont clump up.

      Hi Richa,
      We actually incorporated this pudding with soaked cashews, frozen mango and bananas (with additional almond milk) to turn this pudding into a great smoothie. Mmmmm

      Yummy recipe. Thanks!

      On another note, one of my dogs was rescued from a puppy mill when she was (maybe?) 2 years old. She was pregnant and this is what saved her life because had she not been with puppies she would have been euthanized due to not being socialized at all. She was a mess in so many ways and suffering physically and emotionally. I’ve had the benefit of her companionship for 14 years. I love her very much and she loves me, however she’s never fully recovered. She still startles when I reach out to touch her and she is not so keen on playing with our other dogs. I get it and I respect her nature. She’s a gentle soul with a great sense of humour who I would have never met if I had not taken a chance and adopted her. I agree with you: please adopt don’t shop.

        Thank you for adopting her Sabine and giving her this wonderful life! We had a foster 6 month old, rescued from a puppy mill. He was super skinny and did not like people. After about a month when he did start to warm up to us and a bit with other people on the walks. Thats when people started showing interested as well and he got adopted. Our pom also must have faced some abuse as he still startles easily too.

      Hi Richa, I noticed you call your chia puddings “breakfast”… is it suitable for a dessert, maybe in smaller portions?

      I always wonder if you grind the chia seeds for these types of recipes or if you use them whole? If whole, do they soften up or make the pudding crunchy? Thanks!

        Use them whole. They soak up the liquid as they sit and soften.

        I make Chia Puddings all the time, they should not be grinned up they will soften and swell as they sit for a period of time, they are truly a Wonderful little seed, the pudding will be just like any other puddings after sitting for a while, nice and thick!! I always stir about 1/2 hour of putting in the fridge, so they don’t all cluster together at the bottom, this way they will be distributed through out the jar while setting, Enjoy!
