Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until the protein powder is fully incorporated and no clumps remain.
  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: Add the milk of choice, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to redistribute any settling chia seeds.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and transfer it to the refrigerator. Let the pudding sit for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  4. Stir Before Serving: Once set, stir the pudding well to ensure an even consistency. Taste and, if desired, add more maple syrup to sweeten to your preference.
  5. Serve: Serve the pudding chilled, optionally topped with extra Greek yogurt, whipped cream, diced apples or banana, and crushed nuts for added texture and flavor. Enjoy your nutritious high-protein pumpkin chia pudding!

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, oat, cow's milk, or soy milk, depending on your dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
  • Letting the pudding sit overnight improves texture and flavor absorption.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste preferences.
  • To enhance protein content further, you can add a scoop of additional protein powder if desired.
