It’s that time of the year.

No, not Christmas, not New Years, not patio season…. the reason of the season in between all of that jazz is pumpkin spice errrthang! Aside from pumpkin spice lattes, there is a huge range of ways that you can enjoy your pumpkin spice. It’s probably true that during this time of the year, pumpkin pie is one of the best, and hands down ways to have your pumpkin spice and enjoy it too.

But sometimes nan’s pumpkin pie, or the dinner parties table of desserts kind of throws you off your game.

Because, these Pumpkin Spiced Chia Pudding jars taste just like pumpkin pie!

Chia pudding is one of our favourite ways to enjoy dessert, chocolate, vanilla, it’s just the best. Chia seeds are magical seeds, they are high in Omega 3 fats, incredibly high in soluble fiber, and a great source of plant-based protein. So, in honor of this incredibly nutritious seed, and in honor of pumpkin spice we thought we would pumpkin pie the shit out of this chia pudding, because, why not?

These Pumpkin Spiced Chia Pudding Jars are extremely rich and delicious, naturally sweetened with dates and rich in heart-healthy omegas and fiber. Chia seeds, one of the superfoods on our list add the perfect texture and boost its nutritional density. We guarantee you will be making this again and again. It’s the perfect healthy dessert pie in a jar. Serious though.

      Doesn’t it? Such a yummy alternative and you could totally eat pumpkin pie everyday with this recipe. Our fav is topped with some ‘crumble’ and coconut whipped cream!

    Watching my sugar intake, want to give this a try, but the grams of sugar is “yikes”.
    Combining protein with sugar is better than just alone, however what would you suggest in this case….Avoid or indulge?
    Thanks so much

      Hi Janine, yes, between pumpkin puree, dates and honey there is a lot of sugar but most of it is natural sugar in its whole-food form. Dates tend to be quite high in sugar but they are wrapped up in fiber and plenty of beneficial minerals. However, you can remove the dates and honey and replace with monkfruit or stevia (sweeten to taste) to reduce the sugar intake drastically.
