Ginger Spice Chia Latte
This Ginger Spice Chia Latte is my cozy little hug in a cup. It's the perfect blend of spicy ginger and creamy chia that warms you from the inside out.
I remember the first time I tried a chia latte at a quaint little café after a chilly walk in the park.
It was love at first sip!
This drink not only warms me up but also gives me a good dose of healthy omega-3s from the chia seeds.
I love making this at home because it’s so easy, and I can tweak the spices just how I like them.
Plus, the ginger gives it that extra kick, which is just delightful during the cooler months.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition! If you don’t have almond milk, feel free to substitute it with oat or soy milk. Fresh ginger gives this latte a wonderful zing, but if you only have ground ginger, that’ll work too—just use about 1/2 tsp instead.
Tips & Notes
- •I love using fresh ginger because it packs such a punch, but if I’m feeling lazy, powdered ginger does the trick too!
- •If you want a creamier texture, blend the warmed milk mixture before adding the chia seeds.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a scoop of cacao powder for a chocolatey twist, and it's divine!
- •You can also experiment with other spices like cardamom or even a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before enjoying it again, as the chia seeds may settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chia mixture and store it in the fridge for a couple of days. Just warm up the milk and mix it together when you’re ready to enjoy.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1 cup of water. Stir well and let them sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. You’ll know they’re ready when they’ve absorbed the water and formed a gel-like consistency.
- 2
While the chia seeds are blooming, grab a saucepan and pour in the almond milk. Add the grated ginger, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and vanilla extract.
- 3
Heat the almond milk mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s warm but not boiling. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- 4
Once your milk mixture is warm, remove it from the heat and strain out the ginger bits if you prefer a smoother texture.
- 5
Now, stir in the bloomed chia seeds until well combined.
- 6
Pour the Ginger Spice Chia Latte into your favorite mugs, and enjoy it warm! You can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for a beautiful finish.
