This refreshing Lemon Chia Pudding combines the creamy texture of coconut milk and cottage cheese with the tangy brightness of fresh lemon juice and zest. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup or honey, and enriched with chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s, this easy-to-make pudding is perfect for a healthy breakfast or a light dessert. A pinch of turmeric adds a subtle color boost, making this pudding as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (depending on sweetness preference)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of turmeric (optional, for color)

Chia Seeds

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the coconut milk, cottage cheese, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and turmeric into a high-speed blender. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth and creamy lemon-flavored base.
  2. Combine with Chia Seeds: Transfer the lemon cream mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl with a lid or cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding. For best results, let it set overnight.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the pudding chilled with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or additional lemon zest.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  • Adjust sweetener amounts to taste or substitute with preferred options like agave syrup.
  • Allowing the pudding to set overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Optional turmeric adds a subtle golden hue; omit if preferred.
  • Can be enjoyed as a nutritious breakfast or a light dessert.
