This recipe by Registered Dietitian Carly Knowles combines two of her favorite things—the warming spices found in golden milk and the silky-smooth texture of chia pudding. There are two different forms of turmeric in this recipe (extract and ground) that provide powerful free radical scavenging benefits.* Enjoy this subtly sweet and nourishing pudding at breakfast or in the afternoon as a healthy snack.
- In a large mixing bowl, add both cans of coconut milk and whisk until the liquid and solids are fully combined.
- Add the chia seeds, turmeric extract, maple syrup, vanilla, ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth.
- Let the chia pudding sit at room temperature untouched for 5-10 minutes and then whisk again, eliminating any clumps.
- Divide the chia pudding into 8 oz. containers (I like to use glass jars with screw-on lids) and top each with a scant tablespoon of shredded coconut. Cover each with airtight lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best consistency. Store the chia pudding in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
