Preparing The Ingredients

First, grab a large mixing bowl. You’ll need it to combine all your goodies.

You’ll need 1 cup of almond milk. Make sure it’s unsweetened so you can sweeten the pudding to your liking.

Three tablespoons of chia seeds is what gives the pudding its texture. Measure them out and set them aside.

Get half a cup of pumpkin puree. Canned is okay but make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling.

Gather your spices. A dash of cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth and flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt to bring out the sweetness.

Add some sweetener. Maple syrup works well, and two to three tablespoons should do the trick. Adjust this based on your sweet tooth.

Make sure everything’s laid out and ready to go. It makes putting everything together so much easier. Enjoy prepping your ingredients!

Storage Tips

• When you want to take some for a snack or breakfast, only take out what you need. This way, you won’t spoil the rest. Always use a clean spoon or utensil.
• If you want to make the pudding last longer, you could freeze it. Place it in a freezer-safe container, leaving space at the top as it might expand.
• To thaw frozen pudding, transfer it to the fridge the night before you plan to eat it. Stir well before serving to bring back its smooth texture.
