Blended Pumpkin Chia Pudding
Author:Healthy Blended Pumpkin Chia Pudding with 10 grams of protein and 10 grams of fibre per serving! It takes minutes to make, is full of deliciously spiced fall flavour, and tastes like dessert. Great for meal prep!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (80 grams) chia seeds
- 1¾ cup (420 ml) soy milk (or any other dairy-free milk if you don't mind less protein)
- 1 cup (236 grams) pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup, or 4 to 5 Medjool dates (soak in boiling water for 10 mins, then drain)
- 3 tablespoons nut or seed butter; I like peanut butter, almond butter or tahini best.
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin spice. See notes for an alternative.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (adjust to taste if using table salt)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth. It's thick enough to enjoy right away, but gets much thicker and more flavourful if you wait at least a few hours.
- Transfer to individual bowls, jars or one big container, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
NOTES
No pumpkin spice? Use this instead: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, a pinch of cloves.
