This delicious Chia Seed Pudding with Pumpkin Seeds is the perfect snack, breakfast, or dessert for any day of the week!

Not only is it super simple to make and very versatile but chia seeds are super nutritious. Did you know these tiny yet mighty seeds are packed with healthy fats, plant-based complete protein, and fiber?! Just two tablespoons of chia seeds (1 ounce or 28 grams) contain about 4 grams of protein, 10.6 grams of fiber, 6.5 grams of polyunsaturated fats (healthy fats), and 18% RDA for calcium.

From start to finish, this chia seed pudding takes less than 5 minutes to make. Of course, you do have to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to let the mixture settle. But, trust me, this is one tasty snack you’ll keep coming back to over and over again.

Get Creative With Your Chia Seed Pudding

One of the reasons I love this pudding so much is I can easily switch up the flavor.

For example, if you’re a peanut butter lover, consider adding 1 tbsp of peanut butter (or peanut powder) to your chia seed mix. Personally, I love adding peanut butter and cacao to my mix and topping it with nuts.

Similarly, you can alternate pumpkin seeds with almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, or walnuts! Not only do nuts add a bit of crunch and flavor to your pudding but they too are loaded with healthy nutrients.
