Give your breakfast the golden touch with this creamy chia seed pudding rich in protein and coconut flavor!

If you’re like me and don’t like spending too much time preparing breakfast, this dairy-free pudding is a recipe you’ll want to keep handy. Super simple to make, it only takes 10 minutes to prep and can be chilled ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week.

To help give your immune system a boost, this recipe incorporates turmeric and ginger for a smooth, earthy flavor. Both spices are great for their anti-inflammatory benefits and pair well with the natural sweet taste of raw honey. Added chia seeds work to thicken the pudding while offering fiber-rich nutrients to satiate your appetite.

Additional toppings include mixed berries (I use blueberries and raspberries), coconut chips, and dairy-free coconut yogurt. You can make your own dairy-free yogurt at home (we like this coconut yogurt recipe) or find a trusted brand at your local health food store.

To get started, combine the coconut milk, honey, vanilla extract, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger together in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until you get a vibrant yellow mixture, then add in the chia seeds and continue mixing.

When fully incorporated, let the mixture sit for five minutes to allow it plump and thicken. Give it one more stir and then cover the bowl. Transfer it to the fridge and let it chill for at least six hours or overnight.

Once ready, the mixture should be thick with the consistency of pudding. Divide the mixture evenly between four serving glasses and top with a dollop of coconut yogurt. Garnish with fresh berries and toasted coconut chips, then serve and enjoy!

Tip: I used coconut milk for its thick, creamy texture, but you can easily substitute with any other dairy-free milk.
