It is crazy to me that I went years without eating chia seed pudding, because now I eat it all the time. I seriously love the texture of it, and it is so fun to customize it with all sorts of difference flavors. This Golden Milk Chia Seed Pudding with Turmeric (vegan) is my latest concoction and it will be on rotation for me now!
This chia seed pudding takes literally 5 minutes to make, and can be prepped ahead of time for breakfast. It has healthy fats, protein and fiber so it is perfect for breakfast. Turmeric and ginger also add some anti-inflammatory properties to this pudding.
I love a good chia pudding recipe. For more yummy chia pudding recipes try my protein blueberry chia pudding or my matcha protein chia pudding.

Substitutions
- Spices - can not be subbed as they give the golden milk flavor.
- Fresh ginger - can be subbed with ginger in powder spice form, but I recommend fresh ginger.

- Maple syrup - can be subbed with any other liquid sweetener (honey, date syrup etc).

Yes, you can. You can whisk it in with the milk in the beginning. Just add an extra tablespoon of milk
Recipe Pro-Tips
I like to add frozen fruit to my chia pudding. I add it in before allowing the chia pudding to set and by the time I eat it it is melted.

Is it ok to eat this as dinner instead of breakfast?… or can I heat it up in the morning for breakfast?

You can definitely eat it for dinner, I have never experimented with heating it but I think it could work?
