Why I Love This Recipe:

This Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding isn’t just a tasty seasonal treat; it's packed with nutrients. The chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health, while the pumpkin spice mix has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to spices like cinnamon and ginger. Plus, the pumpkin puree adds a dose of beta-carotene to keep your immune system strong. It's truly the perfect way to stay healthy while indulging in your fall favorites.

Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding

Prep Time: 5 min Total time: 20 min or overnight Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup chia seeds 
• 1 cup plant milk ( I used coconut)
• 1 tsp pumpkin spice mix 
• 2 tbsp pumpkin puree 
• 2 tbsp maple syrup 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, plant milk, pumpkin spice mix, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
3. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid clumps.
4. After 15 minutes, you can either enjoy it right away or refrigerate it overnight for a thicker, creamier consistency.  This serves 2 so you can divide into two jars.

Layering for Extra Goodness:

To take this chia pudding to the next level, I love layering it with coconut yogurt for a touch of creaminess and then topping it with pomegranate seeds.
