Ingredients
Scale
Chia Seed Pudding Base
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 15 oz coconut milk (add a little more for thinner consistency)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (for added protein)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra spice)
- Pinch of salt
- 1–2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein boost)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. If using vanilla protein powder, blend it in until fully incorporated. Stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to redistribute any settled chia seeds. Top with extra pumpkin pie spice, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of granola if desired.
- Enjoy: Enjoy this creamy, protein-packed pudding as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert option.
Notes
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less coconut milk depending on your preference.
- Use maple syrup or honey to sweeten according to your dietary needs or taste preference.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Adding vanilla protein powder enhances the protein content and makes the pudding more filling.
- Top with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to add texture and nutrients.
