Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 15-ounce cans full-fat coconut milk (4 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (or Cup of Sunshine Dust)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (omit if using Sunshine Dust)
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (about one 7-ounce container)
  • additional toppings: fruit, coconut flakes, bee pollen

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the vanilla, turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and the ginger. Bring to a simmer, whisking until the spices are well incorporated and the milk is a vibrant golden hue, about 2 minutes. Be careful that the milk doesn't boil over! Transfer the golden milk to a mixing bowl and chill in the fridge, covered, until room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the chia seeds to the golden milk, stirring to distribute. Cover and refrigerate until the chia seeds are plumped, at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Cover and set aside in the fridge.
  • Stir the pudding to make sure there are no clumps, then spoon into individual bowls, 8-ounce mason jars, or ramekins (about 3/4 cup per container). Add 2 heaping tablespoons of the cinnamon yogurt, garnish with other toppings if desired, and enjoy. The pre-made chia pudding cups will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
