Admittedly jumping on the turmeric bandwagon, golden milk is such a delish snack on its own. This is one of my favourite time-saving recipes – just double the golden milk recipe and stir in some chia seeds – BOOM. Instant nourishing brekkie for the week ahead. Healthy fast and protein from chia seeds make for an awesome start to your day. They’re also packed with fibre to keep your tummy happy too. Win win.

Nice Recipe will have a try …
Sounds delicious. I have some tumeric matcha. I wonder if you could use that instead/as well as to add a caffeine hit…
Sounds delish Siobhan! Definitely try it – extra goodness!
Awesome! Chia does very well for health
