Golden Milk Chia Pudding. Turmeric Milk, spices and orange in this chia seed pudding makes an amazing breakfast. Vegan Gluten-free Nut-free Soy-free Recipe. Just 5 Main ingredients!
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.

Golden Milk Chia Pudding with Orange & Ginger
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk , or 1 1/3 cup non dairy milk of choice
- 3/4 to 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, or cardamom or other spices

- 2 tbsp maple syrup , or more to taste

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.

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!
Yummy!
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.

so sweet of you ~ sounds like you’re a passionate pet parent 🐶
Did this recipe last night and it tastes like heaven!!! Thanks so much!
Yay!
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.
yes, skip the rinse.
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!
great!
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 🙁
Thats ok. everyone has taste preferences and donthave to like every flavor profile i post :), maybe use different blends like pumpkin pie spice or omit cinnamon completely etc
Hi, what brand of canned coconut milk do you use and recommend?
i use whole foods brand
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.
I wouldn’t have thought to do this with orange and it is gorgeous!
