Lemon Curd Chia Pudding. 5 Ingredient Thick Lemon Coconut Milk Turmeric Pudding with Chia seeds. This zesty pudding is a refreshing treat for Summer. Serve with whipped coconut cream. Vegan gluten-free nut-free soy-free Recipe. Pin this for later.
Its been getting cooler the past few days and I was wondering where the Summer went. Hint, remember the 2 weeks of unbreable heat? That was the PNW summer. Oh wait, the heat is back later this week.
On some of the super hot days, we all need something to refresh and fill us up for a snack or breakfast. Cue Lemon + chia! Lemon zest and juice and mixed with full fat coconut milk and sweetener. Then some chia seeds are mixed in to make it into a thick creamy pudding. Add some vanilla or other flavors of choice.
The lemon zest + juice + coconut milk + sweetener is super delicious by itself and can substitute as a thinner lemon curd when chilled. Chia seeds make it into one filling and delicious pudding or treat. Add more or less turmeric for the color or to make a Turmeric Lemon Chia Pudding. Be sure to let the chia seeds sit for a while for best results. And also hydrate well (drink water!) when eating decent amount of chia seeds in pudding or other form.
Serve with a dollop of coconut cream or whipped coconut or non dairy cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest. For variation, use lime juice and lime zest or lime bar pudding. So easy and so Good!

Happy Independence day India. May there be more strides for the independence of animals and equal rights for everyone.
Greetings Richa!
I had to adapt your recipe because sugar is a no-no healthwise, and coconut milk is a no-no for me because I do mainly Keto-Vore. So after changing those two ingredients to 38% Heavy Cream & sweetener…it turned out fantastic.
It also brings the Carb & sugar count right down to practically zero, which is much better for a person’s health & healing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is absolutely delicious! Easy and quick to make and better than all the complicated artsy deserts!!!!
Yay
I make this for my family once a week for a quick breakfast , Usually Mondays because we are all rushing. We all love it, it’s a perfect fast healthy grab to go meal. I have played around with different citruses lime, grapefruit and a lemon lime mix, all are good but lemon is the best. Sometimes we’ll add a little extra something, cranberries are great in this are kiwi. It’s a fabulous versatile dish
Yum!! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
