Healthy Golden Citrus Chia Pudding (Gluten Free and Vegan)
This Healthy Golden Citrus Chia Pudding is gluten free and vegan and the perfect sunny breakfast! This recipe is a vibrant and flavourful dish with a creamy, pudding-like texture. The pudding is a rich golden-yellow colour, thanks to the ground turmeric and other spices added. It has a delightful citrus aroma from the blood orange toppings.
The chia seeds in the pudding provide a unique texture, as they swell and absorb the liquid, creating a thick and creamy consistency. The flavours of the spices, sweetened with agave syrup, are balanced by the tartness of the citrus. The chia seeds are tiny, but they pack a nutritional punch, providing fiber, protein, and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Overall, Healthy Golden Citrus Chia Pudding is a satisfying and nutritious dish that is as beautiful as it is delicious. It’s absolutely perfect for a healthy breakfast or a refreshing snack.

Healthy Golden Citrus Chia Pudding (Gluten Free and Vegan)
Ingredients
- 2 cups plant milk I like to use oat milk
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp cardamom
- ½ tsp ginger
- splash pure vanilla extract
- grind or two black pepper
- pinch sea salt
- pinch ground saffron optional
- agave syrup or maple syrup optional
- 2-3 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
Toppings
- blood orange slices
- mango slices
- coconut yogurt or vanilla yogurt plant based
Instructions
- Mix all of the chia pudding ingredients together in a mixing bowl or in a reusable container (I like mixing the pudding together in a container that I can close with a lid when the chia pudding sets in the fridge). I find it's easiest to mix all of the dry ingredients together, then whisk in the wet ingredients.
- When the pudding is completely combined, let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then mix again.
- Seal the container and then place the pudding in the fridge to allow the chia seeds to expand. This takes about 3 hours, or let it chill overnight and then it's ready for breakfast!
- When the chia pudding is ready, layer it with your favourite coconut or vanilla (plant based) yogurt. Then top it with slices of blood orange and mango. And enjoy!!
