Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding
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 will help you feel nourished. 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.

Hi Desiree,
This was delicious! Just note that the recipe has nutmeg and allspice listed twice.
So glad you liked it!!
This sounds delicious. It says to whisk the first 8 ingredients, then add chia seeds, and later top with nuts—but, chia seeds and nuts are in the first 8 ingredients.
Hi Kim,
ooh, thank you for the nudge…this is a very old recipe so I went in and fixed up the recipe card so the instructions are much clearer. Let me know if you try it!
Hi Desiree,
We enjoyed this recipe yesterday! It was so yummy!!! I added some homemade vanilla heavy whipping cream and roasted pecans (247 degrees F for 20 minutes) to the top for an extra treat. 🙂
Ooh, that is a treat!!!
