Don't let the name of this intimidate you, this Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding is ridiculously simple to make, extremely healthy and crazy delicious!
I feel like this delicious dessert has a bad rap. When I mention "chia seed pudding" to people they seem scared or maybe even turned off.
When you put these little cheeds into a liquid, they gelatinize into a pudding like substance. It's amazing and healthy.
And packed with protein, fiber an antioxidants. Doesn't that sound amazing?
Keep an open mind, people!

All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Why You Should Make This Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding
As most of you know, I am all about make-ahead breakfasts, snacks, dinners etc and this is a perfect example of that. I will make 4 or 5 of these and keep them in my refrigerator for breakfast on a busy morning or for after dinner when a sweet craving hits.
It's so important to be prepared (especially when there are bags of candy still leftover for Halloween!) Honestly, being prepared is about 95% of the battle of keeping on track.
It will always be easier to make healthy choices when you have healthy options available. Case closed.
I've made this will chopped pecans on top and the last time I added my candied pecans and mixed them in. SOOOOOO delicious!
