This Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding is inspired by the cozy flavours of your favourite chai. It’s a 5 minute plant-based recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or a nourishing snack!

You can never get enough pumpkin, right? Since are already into the indulgence season, this festive treat is the perfect antidote to all of the holiday junk. We did just survive Halloween after all…and the leftover candy probably exists alongside the influx of holiday treats. I could hardly believe my eyes to see stores stocking holiday treats and decorations before Halloween. I may be dating myself, but I remember when the holiday season started on December 1 (or with Thanksgiving, for you folks south of the border). It just keeps creeping up earlier and earlier…one of these years, the ‘holiday season’ is going to start in September, isn’t it?

Rant aside, this simple-to-make snack is the perfect tummy taming treat: chia seeds are rich in fibre and omega 3 fatty acids, both of which help support a healthy intestinal flora. Topped with a high potency probiotic masquerading as vanilla crème, it is a decadently healthy dessert.
