Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 saucepan
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 2 serving bowls
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk Or any milk of choice.
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup Or honey.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper To enhance turmeric absorption.
- ½ banana sliced
- ¼ cup granola
- ¼ cup mixed berries Blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut Optional for topping.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully mixed.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps of chia seeds. This will help the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
- In a small saucepan, warm the remaining almond milk over low heat. If desired, whisk in additional spices such as cinnamon or turmeric to enhance the flavor of your golden milk.
- Once the chia mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency (after about 10 minutes), divide it into two bowls.
- Pour the warmed golden milk over the chia mixture in each bowl.
- Top each bowl with sliced banana, granola, mixed berries, and shredded coconut, if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious breakfast bowl!
Notes
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup/honey according to your taste.
Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference; nuts, seeds, or dried fruits all make great additions.
This breakfast bowl can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; just keep the toppings separate until serving.
