We are almost in October, and with that, we can undoubtedly see pumpkins everywhere! I love fall and everything that goes with it!
Now that I am a full-time mom, I can really appreciate all the family activities around fall, like the pumpkin patches or rides, where I know my little one will have a blast!
Also, I’m so glad that finally, the temperature will cool down a little. Here in South Louisiana, the weather is crazy hot! :)… so, feeling that cool breeze will be great!
This recipe is packed with vitamins, proteins, and a punch of flavors! So good! You can prepare this overnight and eat it for breakfast, an evening snack, or a dessert.
The flavors of this recipe are similar to those of a pumpkin pie, with a healthy added ingredient: chia seeds. I usually add chia seeds to my smoothies or when eating yogurt. I buy them in bulk, and this is my favorite brand.
Chia seeds are rich in nutrients that support many benefits for the body and brain. They contain protein, fiber, healthy omega-3s, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and many antioxidants! All this converted into a delicious, thick, and creamy pudding that tastes like pumpkin pie!
You can certainly make this recipe sugar-free and add your favorite toppings such as fruits, granola, nuts, or anything you like! Now it’s your turn! Try this recipe and enjoy its flavor and texture! Let me know what you think about it!

How long will the recipe, once made, keep in the refrigerator?
Hi Stephanie, I’ve found chia pudding to last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Should the coconut milk be full fat, or does it matter?
Hi Elizabeth! You can use full fat or lite coconut milk. I prefer the lite version because it will keep the chia seed fully hydrated.
