A chia pudding that tastes like a turmeric latte
Chia pudding is one of my go-to recipes for an easy, nourishing breakfast or snack. I often keep simple jars of vanilla, coconut, or chocolate chia pudding in the fridge, but when I want something special I make this golden milk version. It combines turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and a touch of black pepper to recreate the cozy flavour of a Golden Milk Latte.
Why you’ll love this recipe
- Delicious, healthy spices: Turmeric, ginger and cinnamon combine to give the pudding the same warm profile as a golden milk latte.
- Easy meal prep: Make a batch and store it in the fridge to enjoy all week.
- Diet-friendly: Naturally grain-free, gluten-free and vegan — great for breakfast, snack or a healthy dessert.
How to make Golden Milk Latte Chia Pudding
This recipe is easy to prepare. For best results make it the night before so it can thicken in the fridge overnight.
Start by combining your spices and chia seeds with a good quality plant milk. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or ideally overnight, then serve with toppings like coconut cream, fresh fruit, yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
How do I thicken my chia pudding?
Chia seed size and the type of liquid you use affect texture. Full-fat coconut milk will yield a thicker, creamier pudding because of its higher fat content. If the pudding is too thin, stir in an extra tablespoon of chia seeds, mix well and let it sit for 30 minutes to thicken.
Tips for making this recipe perfectly
- Use a whisk to fully combine the seeds and liquid and avoid lumps.
- Choose a high-quality coconut or other plant-based milk for the best texture and flavor.
- If turmeric’s flavor feels strong, begin with 1/2 tsp and adjust to taste after it has set.
