Higher Protein Pumpkin Chia Pudding
by: claire cary
This pumpkin chia pudding is the ultimate Fall breakfast or snack recipe! It's higher in protein thanks to the greek yogurt and protein powder, and packed with so much flavor from the pumpkin spice. Only takes about 10 minutes to whip up!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk of choice
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, protein powder, pumpkin spice and salt. Whisk until no clumps of the protein powder remain.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and whisk really well. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again.
- Cover and transfer to the fridge and let sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight to thicken.
- Stir really well to ensure everything is well combined. Taste and adjust as desired, adding more maple syrup to sweeten if desired.
- Serve with more yogurt, whipped cream, diced apples or banana and crushed nuts. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use black or white chia seeds here, I used black!
