Pumpkin Spice Chia Pudding

November 5, 2020

So I know we’re already well into Fall at this point, and you might be totally over the PSL train, but I haven’t made a single pumpkin spice recipe yet – and I needed one! Over Thanksgiving last month I was participating in the Whole30 with my clients who signed up for my September group coaching program, so I didn’t have a chance to indulge in pumpkin pie over the holiday. I told myself I would have a piece when I was done with my reintroduction phase, but honestly, I really didn’t feel like it. It wasn’t all that worth it to me.

I actually attempted to create a Whole30 compliant version of this recipe, meaning completely sugar-free, but it really wasn’t working out. I thought if I kept adding more spices, cinnamon, and vanilla extract it would get better, but it didn’t work. You really need a touch of sweetness with the pumpkin to balance everything out. For this recipe, I use two tablespoons of pure maple syrup and it gave it just enough sweetness to make it a total treat. It actually reminds me exactly of that pumpkin pie I skipped out on over Thanksgiving. #winning

If you’ve never made chia pudding, you’re in for a treat! It’s super simple to make, really delicious, plus it’s full of fiber and good quality fats so it will keep you feeling full and satisfied. Typically I’ll use full-fat coconut milk for chia pudding to keep it thick and creamy, but you really don’t need it for this recipe. I used the lite version, and it still has that ultra-creamy and smooth texture I love.

Not only is chia pudding a total treat to me, but it’s also super nutritious! Here are some benefits of chia seeds:

Health Benefits of Chia Seeds

  • High in fiber meaning it’s great for keeping things moving along the ‘ol digestive tract
  • High in antioxidants
  • Good source of omega-3 essential fatty acids
  • Good source of protein
  • Helps balance blood sugar

Description

This ultra-creamy and smooth chia pudding will keep you feeling full and satisfied, and has just enough sweetness to make it a total treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can light coconut milk ((you can use full-fat, but it’s not necessary))
  • 1/3 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds ((add an extra tablespoon if you prefer a really thick pudding))

Instructions

  1. Whisk all ingredients in a medium bowl or measuring cup until smooth and well combined
  2. Let sit in the fridge for at least one hour. (You can whisk it a few times as it sits to help distribute the chia seeds, but it’s not totally necessary)
  3. Once it thickens and the chia seeds become gelatinous, distribute into three mini mason jars for serving
  4. Top with coconut whipped cream, coconut flakes, cinnamon or walnut pieces for some added crunch
  5. Keeps in the fridge for 5 days

The seemingly little things add up to become the big things and eventually, you wind up feeling like you have no energy, don't sleep well, your clothes are tighter and you generally just feel crappy. Are any of these making their way into your lifestyle more than you'd like?⁠
⁠
❌ getting to bed past 10pm⁠
❌ lack of fresh air⁠
❌ sedentary lifestyle⁠
❌ convenient foods or takeout⁠
❌ daily hits of sugar⁠
❌ minimal green vegetables⁠
❌ less than 2L water/day⁠
❌ eating white flour⁠
❌ less than 100g protein per day⁠
❌ eating inflammatory oils⁠
❌ less than 25g fiber/day⁠
❌ negative thoughts⁠
❌ high-stress lifestyle with a lack of coping mechanisms⁠
⁠
The good news? Lots of these things are simple and you can start to make tiny changes right away. Pick two things on this list and commit to making them happen daily over the next week :)⁠

I've been loving going for an afternoon walk after my workday finishes and listening to a podcast. It's such a great way to transition from work to personal time, it gets me moving AND I always learn something new!⁠
⁠
Here's what's been in my earbuds lately:⁠
⁠
1) The Ultimate Health Podcast @ultimatehealthpodcast
2) The Model Health Show by @shawnmodel
3) The Doctors Farmacy by @drmarkhyman⁠
4) Life Coach School by @therealbookcastilo⁠
5) The School of Greatness by @lewishowes⁠
⁠
Do you listen to podcasts? What should I be adding to my list?⁠
