Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and pumpkin puree. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

    Add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Mix to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

      Slowly stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are distributed throughout the mixture without clumping.

        Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

          Once set, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve the pumpkin spice chia pudding in school-friendly containers or jars. Add your favorite toppings like sliced bananas, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola to bring in additional texture and flavor.

              Enjoy this delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option on-the-go!
