Lemon Curd Chia Pudding. 5 Ingredient Thick Lemon Coconut Milk Turmeric Pudding with Chia seeds. This zesty pudding is a refreshing treat for Summer. Serve with whipped coconut cream. Vegan gluten-free nut-free soy-free Recipe. Pin this for later.Â
Its been getting cooler the past few days and I was wondering where the Summer went. Hint, remember the 2 weeks of unbreable heat? That was the PNW summer. Oh wait, the heat is back later this week.Â
On some of the super hot days, we all need something to refresh and fill us up for a snack or breakfast. Cue Lemon + chia! Lemon zest and juice and mixed with full fat coconut milk and sweetener. Then some chia seeds are mixed in to make it into a thick creamy pudding. Add some vanilla or other flavors of choice.Â
The lemon zest + juice + coconut milk + sweetener is super delicious by itself and can substitute as a thinner lemon curd when chilled. Chia seeds make it into one filling and delicious pudding or treat. Add more or less turmeric for the color or to make a Turmeric Lemon Chia Pudding. Be sure to let the chia seeds sit for a while for best results. And also hydrate well (drink water!) when eating decent amount of chia seeds in pudding or other form.Â
Serve with a dollop of coconut cream or whipped coconut or non dairy cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest. For variation, use lime juice and lime zest or lime bar pudding. So easy and so Good!

Happy Independence day India. May there be more strides for the independence of animals and equal rights for everyone.Â
Make this recipe nearly every week.
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to comment Sharon.
Just made this, even after adding more tumeric it certainly is not as vibrantly yellow as yours, where did I go wrong?
Turmeric is what gives it the yellow color. It could be the brand of turmeric you’re using.
Amazing flavor and very refreshing. It was a thin set pudding for me, but I didn’t mind. I used Thai Kitchen coconut milk and skipped the water. Three tablespoons of chia seeds, 59 ml fresh lemon juice and extra zest. I will definitely keep making this!
Yay! Glad you liked it.
How long will it keep refrigerated?
3 days
The recipe says to pulse, but doesn’t say anything about using a food processor. I’d that what I’m supposed to do?
Pulse in a blender
Love this lemon recipe! It’s such a yummy healthy treat. I used stevia and it tastes great.
Awesome!
So refreshing! The lemon flavor is perfect. Even better with a bit of whipped cream (vegan) on top! We make this frequently Used 6T of chia seeds
So glad you like it!
I really liked this lemon and chiaseed pudding!
That’s great!
Hi, could this be made with almond milk?
Almond milk will most likely curdle.
Will this set up and work just as well, if I grind my chia seeds first?
Yes!
