It’s pumpkin pie spice season! I’m personally not a huge fan of pumpkin spice flavored things, with the exception of pumpkin pie and my recipe for pumpkin pie chia seed pudding. You can absolutely have this for a healthy dessert but I like to have it for breakfast in the morning.

Makes 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese

1/3 Cup Pumpkin Puree

1/3 Cup Chia Seeds

1-2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup

1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions

In a blender combine milk, cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup. Blend until the cottage cheese it smooth and there are no clumps left.

In a small mixing bowl combine the wet mixture with the chia seeds. Whisk occasionally until the chia seeds are gelatinous.

Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve in the morning give it a quick stir. I like to top mine with pumpkin seeds and hazelnuts. Enjoy!

Notes

I personally use nonfat milk but you can use whatever milk or milk alternative you’d like…it just might change the consistency making it a thinner or thicker pudding.

I know it can be frustrating to open a can of pumpkin puree just to use 1/3 cup of it, so I suggest planning accordingly and making some pumpkin bread or muffins with the rest. I toyed with the idea of creating the recipe to use the entire can but it would turn out overwhelmingly pumpkin, or it would make a huge batch. Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

I personally prefer white chia seeds which I order online. I find regular chia seeds to sometimes have a slightly fishy taste.

It’s important to continuously whisk the chia seeds until they become gelatinous because it will leave them suspended in the mixture rather than sinking to the bottom.

Amazon Prime day ends tonight and below is everything I have ordered from the sale.

Tights My husband and I are going to NYC in December and I am already planning my outfits. One of the outfits I’m planning requires tights, which I do have but I wanted to get some fleece lined ones for added warmth.

Churu Cat Treats These are Anthony’s favorite treats so I stocked up on them.

Jewelry Trays I have quite a bit of jewelry and I want to be that person that always accessorizes with jewelry, but I’m not. I think having my jewelry on trays will encourage me to wear it more often.

Flameless Candle Set I bought this candle set during a flash sale yesterday. I can’t remember who recommended them or where I saw them but I remember thinking they look so much better than the flameless candle set I have.

Tinted Sunscreen This is one of my favorite tinted sunscreens. I figured I’d order a backup while it is on sale.

Body Butter This brand makes one of my favorite perfumes so I have been wanting to try their body butter for a while. This is technically not part of the prime day sales but there is a 25% off coupon for it right now.

Premier Protein My husband and I both like Premier Protein. I have not tried this flavor but it was the most discounted one at the time of order so hopefully it is good.

Since so many of us are shopping on Amazon today, I think it is worth mentioning that there are tons of organizations that are providing hurricane disaster relief that have Amazon wishlists. This one that I am linking is prepping to provide pet supplies to the Tampa area after hurricane Milton passes. This is just one of many organizations, and there are some that have wishlists that would go to both victims of hurricane Helene and Milton.
