A nourishing and creamy chia pudding infused with turmeric-spiced golden milk and topped with fresh mango, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut yogurt (dairy-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup (80g) diced ripe mango
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm the almond milk and spices: Pour 1 cup (240ml) almond milk into a small saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, grated ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat gently over low-medium heat, whisking occasionally until hot but not boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the spiced golden milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds. Add 2 tablespoons coconut yogurt and stir well to combine, breaking up any clumps.
  4. Transfer the mixture into serving jars or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
  5. Just before serving, top the pudding with 1/2 cup (80g) diced ripe mango. Optionally, sprinkle extra cinnamon or toasted coconut flakes for garnish.

Notes

Do not boil the milk to preserve turmeric’s benefits. Stir the pudding mixture well after 10 minutes to prevent chia seeds from clumping. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk to loosen. Fresh ripe mango is best for natural sweetness. Can substitute frozen mango or other fruits like pineapple or figs.
