1. In a mason jar or airtight container, mix together the plant-based milk and chia seeds. Stir well with a spoon until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Add maple syrup (or honey), pumpkin seeds, and, if using, cacao powder.
3. Seal the jar with a lid and shake until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
4. Place the chia seed mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to sit for a minimum of 3 hours. Alternatively, you can prepare it before bedtime and let it settle overnight for added convenience! This guarantees you’ll have a tasty breakfast waiting for you first thing in the morning!

To Serve: 

Once the pudding has set, it’s ready to enjoy! For serving, get creative with toppings. I like adding fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon but feel free to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or spices.
