Putting a spin on last year's pumpkin chia seed pudding recipe to add a little more protein, making this even more satiating and nutrient-dense. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
- Optional toppings: dollop of whipped cream, cinnamon, nuts
Directions:
- Add milk and protein powder into a blender to mix well. Let it set for a few minutes to help bring down any excess foam.
- In a bowl, add pumpkin, chia seeds, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup (optional).
- Add in the protein and milk mixture and gently stir until mixed well. Let it sit for 10 minutes before mixing again and placing in the fridge for at least an hour or two.
- Top with whipped cream, cinnamon, nuts, or eat plan and enjoy!
