Turmeric Spice Chia Pudding

turmeric spice chia pudding

By Carrie Forrest of Clean Eating Kitchen

My healthy eating journey has had a ton of ups and downs, including a diagnosis of thyroid cancer in 2012. I always tell people that the “secret weapon” during my recovery was making green smoothies in my Blendtec almost every day.

I've also dealt with food intolerances and autoimmune disease, so I have to be careful with foods like dairy and gluten. Most of all, I find that choosing real, whole foods and practicing stress management are a strong base for my healthier life.

That said, I’m such a foodie and have a real sweet tooth. So, I’ve made it a point to experiment with desserts that have a superfood twist. Turmeric is one of those superfoods getting a lot of attention lately. Studies show that the active compound in turmeric, called curcumin, has been shown to reduce inflammation (1).

Turmeric is a root, but it’s most often seen in its dried, ground form. It’s most recognizable as the bright pigment in mustard. Turmeric has a unique flavor, and can be used in both savory and sweet dishes.

In this easy dessert recipe, I use whole chia seeds that get blended with almond milk and dates into a dairy-free but very creamy pudding. The delicate flavor of turmeric combines nicely with the ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper enhances the anti-inflammatory properties of the turmeric.

This is such an easy and health-promoting recipe, even kids will love a bite!

    Amazing recipe! I am dealing with Hiatal hernia from last few years and have been told to eat a lot of chia seeds. Will definitely try this one. https://www.everydayhealth.com/hiatal-hernia/guide/ helped me discover some good recipes that include chia seeds. Thanks for this healthy recipe
