    Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

    When it comes to breakfast, I feel like I'm always lacking inspiration. I get bored of my breakfast meal pretty quickly but I always end up preparing the same thing anyway. Lately I've been eating fried eggs with a side of fruits like grapefruit or a salad (I know, I'm weird). I'm getting sick of it! Eggs for breakfast once or twice a week is a thing, every single day is another one. It had to stop. The thing is, I don't really have the patience to cook in the morning. When I wake up all I want to do is eat. Like, immediately. Some people need a cup of coffee. I need my breakfast. I'm always starving, no matter what and how much I had for dinner the day before. So cooking a real meal that would take more than 10 minutes to prepare, from start to finish, won't be considered. Oh and to complicate things I don't eat cereals (or grains for that matter) so the traditional breakfast food is out of the list too. Complicated girl you say? Not at all 😉

    Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding

    The best solution for me remains to prepare my breakfast ahead. I am the happiest girl on earth when I have this sitting in my fridge. But it doesn't happen every day - though I would love to! This is when this chia pudding comes in handy. It's perfect for busy people who still want to eat a filling, healthy breakfast. Never heard of chia seeds? Chia is a super food. It is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, minerals and antioxidants. It's also very filling, which in my book is a must for breakfast. To prepare this chia pudding all you need to do is put all the ingredients in a jar, give it a good shake and let it rest overnight in the fridge. In the morning, you will wake up to a delicious pumpkin pie-like pudding. Easy peasy!

      I love chia seeds. I always feel like I'm doing my body good when I eat them! I've never tried a chia pudding before though... I think I need to change that! I love the idea of the spices, I've got a few cans of pumpkin puree at home so I might just give this a go! x

      This looks delicious but I'm confused as to how it's 360 cals? With just 1T of pumpkin and chia surely it can't be as much as that?

        Hi Emma! It's because I used full fat coconut milk, which is pretty high in calories and good fats. If you prefer to use light coconut milk or skim cow milk, it will also work just fine and the calories will be lower.
