Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding

Heyyyyyy Fall! Nice to see ya! And even nicer to ring ya in with this fancy, healthy Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding.

I mean, what possibly screams "Happy Fall!" better? Especially when the weather hasn't actually quite caught up with us yet and turning on the oven to pop out a batch of pumpkin muffins (my fav!) is totally unthinkable.

Enter a chia pudding variation that combines the best fall flavors without heating up the kitchen even the littlest bit.

I love a good, creamy, cool chia pudding. Scrumptious, healthy enough to count as breakfast and super flexible!

While chocolate + peanut butter is my go-to flavor combo (like this chia recipe), there's so much potential in the simple base of chia seeds and liquid! So I bravely stepped away from the safety of this winning combo and attempted a variation more suitable for the coming season.

The combination of pumpkin and chai is a total winner. The sweetness of the pumpkin puree begs for a spicy addition to balance it out. Chai spice is a simple combination of cardamom, cinnamon, allspice and ginger. Some people add black pepper, nutmeg, or cloves—which are all incredible, but we're keeping it simple!

This Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding is a perfect Fall combo! It's spicy, a little sweet and creamy (it's that final whip that does the trick!). Give it a whirl this fall
