- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

- Fresh fruit (mango, banana, berries)
- Shredded coconut
- Chopped nuts
- Extra sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, whisk together almond milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir in chia seeds and mix well to prevent clumping.
- Let sit for 10–15 minutes, then stir again to evenly distribute the seeds.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until pudding-like texture forms.
- Before serving, stir and add toppings such as fruit, coconut, or nuts.
