This pumpkin chia pudding recipe comes from Detoxinista. Chia pudding is not only a great choice for breakfast but it can also serve as a delightful and nutritious sweet treat! Chia seeds are rich in essential fatty acids and fiber which can contribute to various health benefits, such as:
reducing blood pressure
lowering cholesterol levels
supporting digestive health
aiding in weight management
reducing inflammation
helping to control blood sugar
protecting against chronic disease
improving anxiety and depression
Make it a protein pudding by adding your favorite protein powder. Some good choices include:
Standard Process Products, specifically:
Ancient Nutrition Products: Grass Fed Whey or Bone Broth
Some ways to switch up this recipe:
replace the maple syrup with raw honey
sprinkle with a dusting of spices just before serving
top with a few raw or dry roasted nuts
top it with whipped cream, we have the perfect recipe, coconut whipped cream (making your own is the best way to control ingredients!) or yogurt
Ingredients:
1 cup milk of choice
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ cup chia seeds
pinch of salt
Directions:
In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well, until smooth.
Add in the chia seeds and mix again. A whisk works best for mixing in this case, so the chia seeds won't clump together.
Pour the mixture evenly into two (8- to 12-ounce) glass jars with lids. Store them in the fridge until the chia pudding has thickened, at least 30 minutes, or overnight. When you're ready to eat, stir the pudding, serve in portions and add any toppings you love.
Leftover chia pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. (Thaw overnight in the fridge when you want to eat the frozen chia pudding.)
